AAK Hydraulic Manifold Blocks Same Accuracy of 2 Opposite Sides

Last week, Kedma from Israel left a message on the hydraulic manifold
manufacturer AAK website:

1. We need to customize a hydraulic manifold block, for each 2 opposing
faces of the 6 faces of the manifold block, its accuracy must be the same.
2. This hydraulic manifold block is intended for military equipment. If it
does not meet the requirements, please do not provide a quotation.

I saw this message and did not reply directly. But instead, I asked Kedma,
‘You should have checked with many hydraulic manifold manufacturers, right?
And most of these hydraulic manifold manufacturers gave no reply or said
No.’ Kedma agreed with my guess and asked me how I found out. I told Kedma
that most hydraulic manifold manufacturers in China are not confident,
especially when it comes to military products, they are a bit scared.
Moreover, Kedma has special requirements, and these hydraulic manifold
manufacturers do not want to cause trouble, and some hydraulic manifold
manufacturers do not have the ability to do so.

Kedma seems to be interested in AAK and asked me how much time and cost it
would take to customize this hydraulic manifold block, and how can AAK
ensure that the accuracy of the 2 opposing faces of the hydraulic manifold
block must be consistent? I said, before providing a quotation and
development, let's first watch a video of how AAK processes hydraulic
manifold blocks.

From the video, it can be seen that the key points are the 3 steps:
1. The processed hydraulic manifold block should be properly positioned to
ensure centering.
2. The processed hydraulic manifold block should be securely fixed to ensure
no displacement
3. The 2 opposing faces of the hydraulic manifold block are processed and
milled simultaneously.

The double-sided milling machine is a perfect match for Kedma's special
requirements for hydraulic manifold blocks. It is driven by the spindle and
simultaneously drives 2 symmetrical milling cutters. At the same speed and
milling depth, the surface roughness of the 2 opposing faces of the
hydraulic manifold block is also synchronously controlled. The 2 symmetrical
milling cutters are capable of cutting 360 degrees without dead angles in
front and back, up and down, left and right. The processed hydraulic
manifold blocks do not need to be flipped, avoiding secondary positioning
errors. Most hydraulic manifold manufacturers process the hydraulic manifold
blocks by one face to another, which not only has low efficiency and
unstable accuracy, but also cannot achieve the same accuracy of hydraulic
manifold blocks on 2 opposite sides.

AAK hydraulic manifold blocks, processed on 2 opposite sides simultaneously,
with no errors, you can also try it out.
