Extrude Hone participated in MECSPE 2026, one of Europe’s most important trade shows dedicated to manufacturing technologies, industrial automation, and advanced production processes. The event brings together thousands of industry professionals looking for innovative solutions to improve productivity, precision, and process reliability.

At the exhibition, Extrude Hone presented its expertise in automated deburring and precision surface finishing technologies, designed to help manufacturers achieve consistent quality on complex components while reducing manual operations.

Visitors have discovered several advanced finishing processes developed by Extrude Hone, including thermal deburring, electrochemical machining, and abrasive flow machining.

MECSPE 2026: A Major Event for Advanced Manufacturing

MECSPE is a key meeting point for the European manufacturing ecosystem. The exhibition showcases innovations in automation, robotics, additive manufacturing, digital production, and advanced materials.

Manufacturers attending the event are increasingly looking for solutions that help them:

  • improve production efficiency

  • automate finishing operations

  • reduce quality variability

  • process complex geometries and internal features

These challenges are particularly relevant in industries such as aerospace, medical devices, energy, and fluid systems.

Extrude Hone supports manufacturers facing these challenges with advanced finishing technologies that improve component quality and enable reliable automated production.

Supporting the transition toward Automated Manufacturing

As manufacturers move toward more automated production environments, finishing operations must also become more reliable and predictable.

Traditional manual deburring and polishing methods often create variability and increase production costs. Automated finishing technologies provide a consistent alternative that improves productivity while maintaining high-quality standards.

Extrude Hone supports manufacturers in this transition by developing solutions that can be integrated into automated production lines and adapted to high-volume manufacturing environments.

Automated deburring and finishing technologies by Extrude Hone

Extrude Hone has developed several precision finishing technologies used worldwide to improve surface quality, remove burrs and optimize functional performance of complex components.

Thermal deburring (TEM):

Thermal deburring is a highly efficient method used to remove burrs from internal and external edges in a single process cycle. The technology uses a controlled combustion process to eliminate burrs even in hard-to-reach areas.

This process is particularly suitable for components with complex geometries such as:

  • hydraulic manifolds

  • valve bodies

  • transmission components

  • fluid system parts

Thermal deburring enables manufacturers to process large batches quickly while ensuring consistent results.

Electrochemical Machining:

Electrochemical machining is an advanced material removal process that uses electrochemical reactions to precisely remove material without generating thermal or mechanical stress.

This technology is widely used in industries where precision and surface integrity are critical.

Typical applications include:

  • aerospace components

  • medical implants

  • turbine components

  • complex metallic parts made from difficult-to-machine materials

ECM allows manufacturers to perform precise edge shaping, deburring and contouring operations while maintaining excellent surface quality.

ECM goes beyond the Static Method and comes with Dynamic ECM; a perfect illustration is the ECM rifling. In some situations, ECM Dynamic could also become ECM drilling in unthinkable areas.

Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM):

Abrasive Flow Machining is a highly effective solution for polishing internal surfaces and improving flow characteristics in complex components.

The process uses a semi-solid abrasive media that flows through internal passages, smoothing surfaces and creating controlled edge radii.

AFM is particularly effective for parts that contain:

  • internal channels

  • intersecting holes

  • complex fluid pathways

  • difficult-to-access surfaces

AFM provides a surface enhancement of ten times compared to the incoming roughness. It is used across various industries, from Medical to Aerospace, from Energy to F1. 

AFM might be the answer if you want to replace manual polishing or polish intricate AM manifolds and closed impellers in out-of-sight areas.
