Message: | Bauer is a purchaser of American PowerTeam company. In recent years, the purchasing of hydraulic valves has been smooth. Last October, PowerTeam received a test order for a hydraulic power unit from a South African customer. The customer requires to receive the prototype in the shortest time. If the prototype test is normal, there will be a series of orders later. The boss attached great importance to it and asked the technical team to design and develop it. What the engineers are most worried about is that the use frequency of the hydraulic power unit is twice that of the conventional one. Therefore, the durability of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve used should be at least more than 2 million times.
According to the parameters and working conditions of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve, Bauer contacted more than 20 new and old hydraulic valve manufacturers. After one-to-one communication, he selected 5 hydraulic valve manufacturers to make samples for testing. 20 days later, Bauer received 6 samples of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves. After the engineers installed and tested, none of the hydraulic threaded cartridge valves could pass the durability test for 2 million times. Bauer had a second round of communication with the manufacturers, 3 of the hydraulic valve manufacturers said they would re-sample the hydraulic threaded cartridge valve. After the second round of testing, although the durability of hydraulic threaded cartridge valves has been improved, they have not reached 2 million times. Bauer was embarrassed. He might have killed the big order. After communicating, the manufacturer advised that there was nothing he could do. Bauer was very worried and had to try his luck with a new hydraulic valve manufacturer. He found AAK hydraulic valve on Google and searched AAK. After browsing, Bauer thought that AAK might be able to successfully sample this hydraulic threaded cartridge valve.
