Message: | In July this year, Bowen, an Australian customer, visited 5 hydraulic valve factories before and after, and made samples of hydraulic relief valve with ±1μm inner hole for 3 times, but none of them reached the accuracy requirements. AAK sent samples and met the standard for the 1st time, Bowen finally chose to cooperate with AAK.
The inner hole accuracy is not enough, which is mainly caused by the different built-in equipment of honing machines equipped by many hydraulic valve manufacturers. Conventional honing machines use diamond reamers., Because the main cutting part of the diamond reamer is at the tool head, the tool head wears quickly. After the head is worn, it is very easy to cause the size of the hole bottom to be small, resulting in the poor cylindricity of the whole hole and affecting the accuracy. This is the key to the 5% accuracy error. Many hydraulic valve manufacturers are not aware of this key point.
Bowen, a purchaser from a hydraulic valve company in Australia, has an inquiry for a special hydraulic relief valve, and the inner hole accuracy must be controlled within 1μm. Bowen checked with the original hydraulic valve supplier, and got reply that only the hydraulic valve manufacturer equipped with high-precision honing machine is able to make the hydraulic relief valve with 1μm inner hole accuracy. According to the equipment configuration, Bowen has contacted with more than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers, determined to visit 5 hydraulic valve manufacturers, and asked 3 powerful factories to sample the hydraulic relief valve. After testing and comparing the samples received from these 3 hydraulic valve factories, all failed to meet the standard. Bowen asked the manufacturer with the highest accuracy to continue to improve the proofing, and there is still ±0.1μm gap. The factory gave up and introduced AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE to him, maybe AAK can do the hydraulic relief valve with ±0.1μm inner hole accuracy. |
