Topics surface technology

Large-scale delamination of the coating occurred in anodised aluminium profiles. DFO's task was to find out the cause of this. In general, when analysing damage, it is important to approach the investigation systematically and to get to the bottom of the cause step by step.

In almost all industries, component-specific machined surfaces make a decisive contribution to product quality. Accordingly, increasingly higher demands are being placed on burr-free and clean surfaces as well as on shaping and surface finishing. Innovative and advanced solutions ensure that these requirements can be met reliably, reproducibly and economically.

The automation of deburring and surface finishing processes is an optimal way to meet high demands on precision, reproducibility, throughput and economic efficiency. In the process, errors can be avoided with an automation concept adapted to the specific situation.

Additive manufacturing is now a global growth market. It is not only used in research and development, but increasingly also in series production. Ensuring a defined level of technical cleanliness presents industrial cleaning technology with new tasks.

Deburring Expo will showcase innovations and trends from the topic spectrum of deburring technologies and the production of precision surfaces in Karlsruhe from October 12 to 14, 2021. Additive manufacturing, new materials and digitalization are once again the exhibitors' core topics when it comes to component manufacturing.

The new Matt Black Range from AEG impresses with a modern combination of design and functions. A visual highlight are the decorative matt black glass surfaces of the premium appliances, which are completely recyclable thanks to the absence of chemical coatings.

Contract coater Welco from Wackersdorf relies on dense phase technology, automation and certified processes. The company provides complex components with high-quality powder coatings, among others for BMW. Welco can coat up to 500 motorbike frames per day in high quality.

Once again, parts cleaning specialist Hemo has succeeded in establishing its plant technology as a virtual reference in a specific industry. Hardening shop and pipe cleaning applications are now followed by animal bone degreasing. With its modified SOLVACS cleaning systems, the company is also setting standards in this area.

Once again, the parts cleaning specialist Hemo has succeeded in establishing its plant technology as a quasi reference in a particular industry. Modified SOLVACS cleaning systems, which are otherwise used in hardening shops or pipe cleaning, work in the Natural History Museum in Bern. They degrease the animal bones, whose fat content would otherwise contribute to them turning yellow or decaying.

Quality tests in the automotive industry are often carried out with non-calibrated devices. A calibration standard facilitates the control of the technical cleanliness test in rinsing cabinets.
