HYDRAULIC MANIFOLD BLOCKS

Time is money. A contract machine shop is manufacturing specialised hydraulic manifold blocks made out of low carbon steel. They are using a KIWA HMC with 69 bar coolant through the spindle. They are mounting 16 blocks on one tombstone at a time. Turning to Allied for improvement, the customer wanted to reduce the costs of machining the manifold blocks. With the AccuPort 432 drill and finish port forms completed in one operation, pre-drilling was no longer required. Furthermore, the replaceable insert design eliminated regrinding. CUSTOMER’S OBJECTIVE: REDUCE COSTS PREVIOUS CYCLE TIME NEW CYCLE TIME 24 MIN 16 MIN 33% CYCLE TIME DECREASE ACCUPORT 432 ®

ACCUPORT 432 ® X Port Range: size 4 - size 32 X Asymmetrical cutting edges provide excellent hole roundness PORT CONTOUR CUTTERS

Port kits incorporate an AccuThread ® solid carbide thread mill allowing hydraulic ports to be produced in just two operations.

X Replaceable inserts eliminate the need for regrinds X Uses a variety of geometries for precision finishes
