AAK Hydraulic Manifold Blocks 5-axis Machining Center Processing

After we posted the last article,“For hydraulic cartridge valves with high
requirements, AAK produces them using 5-axis CNC machine tools, someone left
a message: Can AAK use a 5-axis machining center to process hydraulic
manifold blocks? From the IP, it should be a customer from Russia. Most
hydraulic manifold manufacturers do not use this sophisticated equipment to
produce hydraulic manifold blocks. How does hydraulic manifold manufacturer
AAK use a 5-axis machining center to process hydraulic manifold blocks?

Most hydraulic manifold manufacturers use domestically produced or Taiwanese
machining centers for their hydraulic manifold blocks, because the accuracy
requirements for most hydraulic manifold blocks are not high, and 5-axis
machining centers are also expensive. Not every hydraulic manifold
manufacturer can have a 5-axis machining center. Why this Russian customer
requires a hydraulic manifold manufacturer to use a 5-axis machining center
to process hydraulic manifolds blocks? He is likely to have encountered
trouble with the valve hole accuracy of the hydraulic manifold blocks not
meeting the standard. The higher accuracy the hydraulic manifold blocks
require, the more they need to be machined on a 5-axis machining center.
Today, the hydraulic manifold manufacturer AAK workshop was processing
hydraulic manifold blocks on site, and I took a video for the processing.

From the video, it can be seen that this is a horizontal 5-axis machining
center from Japan. The advantage of this equipment is that the hydraulic
manifold block can be processed with just one clamping of the blank parts.
Most hydraulic manifold manufacturers process one surface before processing
another, which not only has low efficiency but also poses risks of
inaccurate positioning. AAK technicians first place the rough piece of the
hydraulic manifold block on the fixture, position it while calibrating it
with a balance ruler, then tighten the fixture and calibrate it again with a
balance ruler until the positioning is correct, and then start the
equipment. The dual box structure of this equipment ensures stable machining
accuracy. Especially when the rectangular guide rail is combined with the
movable mechanical structure of the column, the cutting becomes smoother and
the accuracy of the valve hole is also stable.

AAK hydraulic manifold blocks, processed with a 5-axis machining center,
welcome to try it out!
