5-Axis Simultaneous CNC Milling
// CNC Milling
Manufacturing & Engineering Project
High-Pressure Hydraulic Valve Manifold Block
Forged alloy steel hydraulic manifold block rated for 350 bar operating pressure with intersecting deep-drilled flow channels.
// MANUFACTURING CHALLENGE
Critical Technical Risk in the Component
Ensuring zero walk-off at deep intersecting hydraulic cross-drillings and guaranteeing 100% burr-free internal intersections.
// ENGINEERING SOLUTION (APPROACH)
Applied CNC Machining Strategy
Through-coolant carbide gun-drills and custom form-relief cavity reamers were utilized, followed by thermal/mechanical deburring and borescope inspection.
// VERIFICATION & METROLOGY
Achieved Results & Tolerance Compliance
- Burr-free internal intersections with unrestricted laminar flow
- Leak-free metal-to-metal & O-ring sealing in cartridge cavities
- Zero pressure drop or weeping at 500 bar hydrostatic test
