Solutions for Fluid Technology
For the materials often used in fluid technology, cast iron, steel, stainless steels and non-ferrous metals, MAPAL offers economical process solutions through a high level of expertise in both bore machining and milling applications. Customers have relied on MAPAL's expertise for many years, particularly for demanding machining operations for hydraulic parts in a wide range of dimensions.
Everything depends on the main bore
In the machining of hydraulic parts, the focus is also on enabling economical machining with the available standard portfolio. Examples of this include the NeoMill programme for face milling or the Tritan-Drill-Reamer that combines drilling and reaming in one operation and guarantees best drilling results with the new UNIQ DReaM Chuck 4.5°.
Efficient machining with tangential boring tool
The parts are 500x500 mm valve blocks made of spheroidal graphite cast iron 50, with three piston bores to be machined from both sides. Stock removal can amount to 16 mm in diameter. The tangential boring tools with indexable inserts produce short rip chips, preventing rings from being pressed into the gaps which then have to be removed at great expense. The operation time has been reduced by 15.33 minutes per part. The housings of the corresponding model were produced in a quantity of 500, which means a total time saving of 128 hours.
