The best way to get rid of faulty products
Mechanical edge profiling,
or MEP for short, is the best way
out, especially when deburring with
a sander and other hand tools.
Defect is one of the main problems
for many companies, especially in
the manufacturing of parts. Every
manufacturer knows that there
is nothing worse than to refuse
expensive products, on which a huge
amount of valuable time was spent,
due to the presence of burrs or edge
defects. A familiar situation, isn’t it?
Mechanical edge profiling allows you
to effectively deal with such defects.
Specially designed mechanical
