Serving the hydraulic industry
Now with this blog post, we’re going to be highlighting ways in which Extrude Hone AFM serves one of the world’s most important up-and-coming industries: hydraulics. You may not realize how essential the hydraulic industry is to many aspects of your daily life. But it’s true. Here are a few enlightening examples:
- Because of the hydraulic industry, you can eat. That’s right – modern agricultural machinery and farm equipment heavily rely on hydraulic power to maintain peak performance and ever-increasing output as the world’s population continues to grow.
- You can drive to work, run errands, and go on road trips because of the hydraulic industry. Automobile manufactures depend on hydraulic power to keep their assembly lines running smoothly and efficiently.
- You can literally thank the hydraulic industry for the clothes on your back (unless they’re handmade). Textile machinery utilizes hydraulic power to handle compact spinning, high pressures, and constant rotation of air rams.
Wow – bet you didn’t know that, did you? And these are just a small sampling of the key industries that utilize hydraulic power.
So the question then becomes: How does Extrude Hone AFM serve the hydraulic industry?
Well, hydraulic manifolds have extremely intricate, intertwined flow passages that are very difficult – often impossible – to reach. So hydraulic manifolds and other essential parts are sent to Extrude Hone AFM to be deburred and polished. Even microscopic burrs are effectively removed by our patented process.
If burrs aren’t removed by the Extrude Hone AFM process, they will eventually break off during operation, resulting in contamination and premature failure of the hydraulic machinery. That would be disastrous.
AFM customization for hydraulic parts
Each time a component is sent to Extrude Hone AFM from a hydraulic company, we specifically formulate our process to meet the exact specified requirements to achieve optimal results. The AFM process will target the desired radii and dramatically improve surface finish while staying within the tolerance called out in the blueprint specifications.
