Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect tooling or speeds when machining, leading to work hardening and reduced tool life.Utilize carbide tooling with appropriate cutting speeds and feeds, and ensure adequate lubrication during machining operations.
Inadequate post-machining cleaning, leaving behind machining fluids or debris that can compromise component integrity in hydraulic systems.Thoroughly clean all machined surfaces with a degreaser and rinse with a suitable solvent to remove all contaminants before assembly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Blocks
  • Custom Valve Bodies
  • High-Pressure Fluid Connectors

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper handling and storage to prevent surface contamination or damage.
