DeburringEXPO, an international fair set for October 10-12, 2023, in Germany, addresses solutions to the problems caused by burrs left behind during the manufacturing process.
Frequently small and inconspicuous, burrs nevertheless have considerable potential for causing damage. These remnants from the manufacturing process repeatedly lead to problems ranging from avoidable quality defects to product recalls. Beyond this, many industry sectors place strict demands on burr-free components, as well as cleanliness and surface finishing quality.
Despite the enormous impact on product quality, function and safety, deburring is a frequently underestimated step in the manufacturing process — even though requirements for burr-free, clean components with high-quality surface finishes continue to increase in growth oriented industry sectors such as components manufacturing for battery and fuel cell-based electromobility, hydraulics, sensor and analysis technology, the semiconductor supplier sector, medical and pharmaceuticals technology, as well as electronics and systems and machinery manufacturing. At the same time, disruptive developments are challenging parts manufacturers to gain a foothold in new market segments.
Success can only be ensured by means of further development and the adaptation of existing expertise and processes. Deburring, edge rounding, cleaning, and the production of precision surface finishes definitely play a decisive role in this regard. In order to position themselves competitively for the future, numerous companies are seeking appropriate partners and solutions.
DeburringEXPO, organized by private trade fair promoters fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG, provides an internationally unique communication and procurement platform to this end. It covers the entire spectrum of technologies, processes, tools and services for deburring, cleaning, and surface finishing across all industries and materials.
“Its comprehensive range of offerings makes DeburringEXPO the ideal marketplace where users can search in a targeted fashion for solution-oriented partners for changing and new tasks in deburring and the production of precision surface finishes,” said Gitta Steinmann, project manager at fairXperts. “Forty-four percent of the visitors in 2021 came to the trade fair in order to prepare or finalize investment decisions.”
Due to the significance of DeburringEXPO for the operational procurement process, the sector’s market and technology leaders have already made bookings for booth floor space at the upcoming event, which will take place at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Centre. These companies also include businesses and startups who will be presenting processes to the public which have been developed in collaboration with research institutes and universities.
The supplementary program at this year’s DeburringEXPO will also be ideally adapted to increasing demands placed on quality, reproducibility, and efficiency in production, as well as to changing production technologies. For example, the “Automated Deburring” theme park will demonstrate options for automated polishing, grinding, and deburring of components with robots. Automation is also a possible solution for dealing with the shortage of qualified personnel. The “Cleaning After Deburring” and “Quality Assurance in the Deburring Process” theme parks will address other issues, as well as strengths and limitations.
The integrated three-day expert forum is an established supplement to the exhibition program at DeburringEXPO. Solutions for actual applications, as well as current developments, trends and future strategies will be at the center of attention at the simultaneously interpreted presentations (German <> English).
