By participating in hands-on exercises of techniques for cleaning and cleanliness verification, attendees gain the understanding and knowledge to make practical, effective, and sustainable manufacturing decisions. While exercises are supplemented by demonstrations and tutorials, the workshop is not death by PowerPoint! Topics include aqueous, solvent, and “non-chemical” cleaning, including cleaning chemicals and cleaning processes (spray, ultrasonics, cyclic nucleation, in-line, batch). Most manufactured product and product contact surfaces require cleaning during (and sometimes after) manufacture and assembly.  Examples of areas where effective cleaning is essential include: metal fabrication, product assembly, optics, electronics, microelectronics, wafer fab, medical devices, aerospace/aeronautics, military, and additive manufacturing. WHAT DO YOU CALL CLEANING? There are many different terms for cleaning. Cleaning Precision Cleaning Critical Cleaning Safety/Critical Cleaning Surface Prep for Finishing Technical Cleanliness Residue Removal WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE WORKSHOP If you or your company fabricates, finishes, maintains or repairs product or product contact surfaces (like reaction vessels), this workshop is time well-spent. If you sell chemicals or cleaning equipment, this workshop will help you better understand and optimize the market for your products. Examples include: Manufacturing Engineers Product Designers Managers Sales and Marketing Managers Facilities Personnel Assemblers, operators Process Technicians Quality Control Personnel Regulatory Affairs Experts (industry, military, and government) Safety/environmental professionals​ ​ Participants will receive a PDF Certificate of Completion with continuing education credits from Sam Houston State University.

Parts Cleaning Fundamentals

At Production Machining, our job is to help you stay on top of the latest trends and developments in the precision machining industry, which includes parts cleaning processes and best practices. Here is a collection of four PM features that delve into the technologies, processes and the people working to provide the most efficient and effective parts cleaning experiences for you, the end user.

Precision Machining in the Medical Industry

One end market we cover frequently in Production Machining is the medical industry. Many medical devices, like bone screws, plates, rods, artificial joints and other devices and tools are small, precise parts that require the machining capabilities of precision machine shops. Many shops are adding these capabilities as the population ages and demand for medical parts grows. But with so many manufacturers competing to serve the medical industry, medtech companies are now consolidating their supply chains. These trends present an opportunity for shops that are willing to adopt the latest technology and go outside their comfort zones to take on new processes.

The Production Machining media brand covers advanced new technology, practices and processes in the manufacture of precision machined parts in high volumes. About Us
