AAK Hydraulic Manifold Blocks 3-Step Tool Alignment Process

A while ago, our Russian client Erop said that they have sent me a hydraulic
manifold block sample, and need the hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK to
check if we can achieve valve hole accuracy within 3μm. I replied that the
shipping cost is high, just send the hydraulic valve block drawing. However,
Erop said that he had checked with several hydraulic manifold manufacturers
and they all reported that the oil circuit holes were complex and the
drawings were too complex, samples were needed. However, Erop was not
willing to send samples to these hydraulic manifold manufacturers.

After further communication, it was found that a colleague of Erop tested
this manifold block from another hydraulic manifold manufacturer. The
accuracy of the valve hole is unstable, and some have exceeded 5μm. Now his
colleague can't get it done with that hydraulic manifold manufacturer and
can only seek help from Erop.

The accuracy of the manifold block does not meet the standard, either the
machining center cannot handle the accuracy, or the preparation work before
processing is not done meticulously. This is a detail issue that is easily
overlooked by most hydraulic manifold manufacturers. 5 years ago, hydraulic
manifold manufacturer AAK suffered losses in this area. Our technical team
optimized the production process and established a dedicated tool setting
process before processing, with dedicated personnel responsible for it.

Erop told me that the machining center of the original hydraulic manifold
manufacturer can meet the accuracy requirements. I estimate that their
technicians did not have any details about the tool alignment before
processing, so I told Erop my guess. Erop is very interested in knowing how
hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK does it in this detail.

For hydraulic manifold blocks with high precision and complex oil circuits,
relying solely on machining centers will have potential problems. It must be
assisted with experienced technicians. The Taiwan CNC machining center of
hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK has a stable transmission system and
timely feedback system, which lays the foundation for precision machining,
especially the structure of 6-disc bearings, which guarantees accuracy and
stability. At the same time, its NSK screw also helps with processing
stability. Before processing, hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK has
specialized technicians to position the tool. Firstly, manually remote
control the tool to the valve hole, then locate the specific position of
each tool. Based on the input system position data, the system will provide
timely feedback to guide the process without worrying about deviations.
Finally, tighten each manifold block to be processed. This simple 3-step
process can execute the tool alignment process without error, but most
hydraulic manifold manufacturers may find it troublesome and overlook this
detail.

AAK hydraulic manifold manufacturer in Ningbo China, with details before
processing, with an accuracy of within 3μm, you can also give it a try!
