AAK Hydraulic Manifold Optimization Skills Reduce cost by 30%

Uberto is from a hydraulic equipment company in Mexico and has been engaged in
the procurement of hydraulic components for 2 years. At the end of last year,
their customer customized a hydraulic power unit, and the hydraulic manifold of
it was made by a local hydraulic manifold manufacturer. The commissioning of
the equipment was smooth, and the customer was also satisfied, but the price of
the equipment was more than 15% higher than that of similar products in the
market. The company requested to optimize the hydraulic manifold to reduce the
cost, but the original hydraulic manifold manufacturer has no idea.

Uberto found AAK website on google. According to the background trace, he
stayed for more than 10 minutes and left us a message: Can AAK optimize
hydraulic manifold to reduce costs? After communication, we learned that the
customer disliked the high price of their equipment. According to the schematic
diagram of the hydraulic system provided by him and the original hydraulic
manifold drawing, after discussion, AAK technical team proposed an optimization
scheme, which is to form a combined hydraulic manifold, reduce the installation
difficulty and cost. When Uberto's engineers learned that AAK had an optimized
hydraulic manifold scheme, and that the cost would be reduced by 30%, they
expressed doubts, then there was no further news. 2 weeks later, Uberto
suddenly requested AAK to make samples for the hydraulic manifold and paid the
development cost. After 50 days, AAK sent 3 hydraulic manifold samples.

Last week, Ubertor emailed that the hydraulic power unit with AAK hydraulic
manifold had been installed on the equipment and had been tracked for 4 weeks.
The function and stability of the hydraulic power unit is the same as the
original hydraulic manifold. Their customer decided to purchase their hydraulic
power units. The boss was very satisfied and their engineers were also
impressed.

The combined hydraulic manifold optimized by AAK is a modular, configurable and
open hydraulic manifold. It abandons the traditional mode of using "single
element" combined circuit, avoids overlapping functions and structures, and
reduces control valves, which is the key to significantly reduce costs.

1. The four-way hydraulic manifold control system is composed of pilot control
valve group, 4 two-way cartridge valve control components, manifold blocks and
connectors. It has 4 main channels, several pilot control channels, and 2
external mounting surfaces, which greatly reduces components. This is a
technical activity.

2. The top of the hydraulic manifold is provided with a boss, which is a boss
type step surface composed of the boss and 2 parallel finishing planes. The
mounting surface of the convex part of the boss is installed with 2 groups of
pilot control valve groups, and the mounting surface of the plane parallel to
the boss plane is installed with a two-way cartridge valve.

3. The left and right sides of the hydraulic manifold are used to connect the
high pressure input port and low pressure output port of the main channel as
well as the pilot control channel, and the rear side is used as the connection
port of the high pressure output port of the main channel. The installation of
components is convenient and fast.

AAK hydraulic manifold, focusing on cost performance, insisting on function and
stability, you can also try a small order!
