AAK Hydraulic Manifold Block Shortest Customization Time

Albion is from Turkey, and has cooperated with AAK on hydraulic manifold blocks
for 2 years. In the second half of last year, they received a sample order for
hydraulic manifold blocks, and the customer requested to deliver the samples
within 60 days. For hydraulic valve standard parts, this time frame is OK.
However, for the customized hydraulic manifold block, it is some difficult to
finish in 45-50 days. Albion contacted a local hydraulic manifold block
manufacturer, but after receiving the drawings, the manufacturer said it was
too late. Because this hydraulic manifold block has a high degree of
integration, many types of cavity holes, multiple machine tool positioning,
complex processing, and the need for customized molding tools, it needs at
least 60 days. Albion has contacted more than 10 hydraulic manifold block
manufacturers, none of them can catch the schedule. Albion was worried.

Albion contacted me and asked about the sample lead time. Can AAK complete the
hydraulic manifold block sample within 45-50 days? According to the analysis of
AAK engineers, the processing of this hydraulic manifold block is really
difficult. According to the conventional processing technology, it will take at
least 60 days. AAK has a unique processing technology to sample this hydraulic
manifold block, and can complete it in 45 days. Albion was very happy to learn
it. AAK sent 3 samples of hydraulic manifold blocks 45 days later.

3 weeks later, Albion informed that AAK sample of hydraulic manifold block was
sent to the customer. Thanks to AAK for completing the hydraulic manifold
blocks in 45 days, but it seems that it is not the traditional processing
method. For the sample of this hydraulic manifold block, AAK does not need a
forming knife, and uses a simple and time-saving method to sample.

1. In the hydraulic manifold block, first drill and tap the installation hole
and oil passage hole concentrically. There are grooves in the installation
hole. There are eccentric positioning pin holes at the bottom of the
installation hole. During installation, the fixed groove is sleeved into the
opening ring and pressed to the same outer diameter as the valve hole to ensure
the size and accuracy of the cavity hole.

2. The layout of the oil passage groove is based on the method of electronic
printed circuit and plane machining, and the cover plate is welded by brazing.
This method is more convenient and time shorter than conventional drilling.

3. The installation hole of the hydraulic manifold block is drilled, expanded,
milled, bored and processed. The oil ports in the valve hole are distributed
axially through the oil guide groove, leading to the connection position of the
oil passage groove on the oil passage plate.

In this emergency processing method, to sample the hydraulic manifold block is
a surprise. There is no need for customized tools, which saves time, simplifies
processing, and does not affect the hydraulic manifold block to support the
hydraulic manifolds.

AAK hydraulic manifold block, the sample lead time is only 70% of that of
peers, you can also have a small test.
