Hydraulic manifolds are key components used to distribute and guide fluids in hydraulic systems. Its processing process usually involves the following steps:

Design and modeling:

Use CAD software to design a 3D model of the hydraulic manifold.

Determine the size, shape, interface location and fluid dynamics of the manifold.

Material preparation:

Select appropriate materials such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel or copper alloy according to design requirements.

Cut the material into blanks of appropriate size.

Casting (if castings are used):

Make a mold.

Pour the molten metal into the mold and form the preliminary shape of the manifold after cooling.

Heat treatment:

If necessary, heat treat the casting to improve its mechanical properties and eliminate internal stress.

Machining:

Rough machining: Use lathes, milling machines and other equipment to remove excess material and form a basic shape.

Semi-finishing: Further machining to near the final size to ensure sufficient machining allowance.

Finishing: Use high-precision machine tools to machine to the final size to ensure the accuracy of the interface and surface finish.

Drilling and tapping: Use drilling and tapping machines to drill holes and tap the manifold for bolt installation and connection of other components. Deburring and cleaning: Remove burrs generated during processing. Clean away oil, metal chips and other impurities. Surface treatment: Anodizing, plating or other surface treatments are performed as needed to enhance corrosion resistance. Inspection: Use various measuring tools (such as calipers, projectors, CMMs) to inspect the size and shape. Pressure test is performed to ensure there is no leakage. Assembly: Assemble the machined manifold with other hydraulic components. Final inspection: After assembly, perform final functional tests and performance inspections. During the entire processing process, the following are some key points: Accuracy: Ensure processing accuracy to meet the strict requirements of the hydraulic system. Cleanliness: Keep components clean during processing and assembly to prevent contamination of the hydraulic system. Quality control: Strict quality control is performed at each processing stage to ensure that the product meets the design specifications. Since hydraulic manifolds play a vital role in hydraulic systems, their processing requires very precise and strict quality control to ensure system reliability and performance.
