As a quality and cost-relevant production step whose importance is constantly increasing, component cleaning makes a significant contribution to value creation. Comprehensive expertise in the design and optimisation of cleaning processes is required in order to meet increasing demands on resource efficiency in addition to the component-specific cleanliness requirements. The basic seminar "Quality assurance in component cleaning" imparts this knowledge in theory and practice. The two-day event to qualify employees in the field of component cleaning will be held on 6 and 7 March 2024 by the Fachverband industrielle Teilereinigung (FiT) at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences.
Cleaning technology knowledge has rarely been part of the curriculum in vocational training or degree programmes. In day-to-day operations, this shortcoming often results in components that are not clean enough for subsequent production processes. This results in costly reworking, unnecessarily high energy and resource consumption and high costs that reduce added value. Cost-effective operation therefore depends crucially on the cleanliness requirements resulting from subsequent steps such as coating, bonding, welding or assembly being met reliably, efficiently and sustainably. The Fachverband industrielle Teilereinigung e. V. (FiT) imparts the expertise required to optimise and adapt cleaning processes in the basic seminar "Quality assurance in component cleaning". The two-day qualification and further training event is organised and held annually by fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG every year. Participants rate the learning success with an average overall rating of 1.5. The fact that the number of participants is limited to 40 certainly contributes to the successful transfer of knowledge. The next seminar will take place on 6 and 7 March 2024 at Heilbronn University.
Process design and monitoring in theory and practice
The course content will be taught to participants by experts with practical experience from various areas of cleaning and application technology. The event will begin with a keynote speech explaining the fundamental issues involved in the systematic planning and optimisation of cleaning processes. Other lecture topics on the first morning will include the composition and mode of action of aqueous cleaning media and organic solvents, cleaning concepts and wet-chemical processes as well as the monitoring of cleaning media and component cleanliness. The content of these presentations will be deepened in the afternoon through topic-specific practicals. Small groups and suitably equipped laboratories at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences ensure optimum knowledge transfer. The presentations on the second morning will cover the basic know-how required to make the best possible choice of cleaning chemicals, processes and plant technology. In addition, solutions for monitoring quality-influencing parameters during cleaning and checking component cleanliness will be presented and their functionality explained. In the practical part in the afternoon, participants will be familiarised live with the strengths and limitations of various solutions for monitoring particulate and film cleanliness as well as media monitoring. They will be able to apply the various solutions themselves.
The target group for the basic seminar are specialists and managers from development, design, work preparation, production and quality management from the metalworking and processing, automotive, mechanical engineering, electronics manufacturing, precision mechanics, optics, medical technology, surface and coating technology and other industrial sectors in which component cleanliness is a quality criterion.
