CNC Automation for Hydraulic Valve Manufacturing | New Partner

CNC automation for hydraulic valve manufacturing: valve spools, fittings and cylinder bodies tended on lathes, flipped for the second operation and inspected.

Machining Automation for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Parts

Valve spools and fittings have a large length-to-diameter ratio, which a gantry robot grips comfortably.

In short

Hydraulic & Pneumatic Parts, in short

How is CNC automation applied to hydraulic valve manufacturing?

Valve spools, hydraulic and pneumatic fittings, cylinder bodies and port nuts are slender parts that are easy to deform or knock when handled by hand, and both ends often need machining, so second clamping recurs. Threads and sealing faces are critical: an incomplete clamp scraps the part. The usual combination is lathe loading and unloading, automatic flipping for the second operation, a gantry loading cell, and in-line inspection after machining. Slender shaft parts are assessed for gripping and loading forces at proposal stage.

Typical pain points in this industry

Valve spools are slender and easily deformed or knocked when handled by hand

Threads and sealing faces are critical, so an incomplete clamp means a scrapped part

Both ends often need machining, which makes second clamping frequent

Small batches with many variants, so changeover takes a large share of the time

Slender shaft parts need the gripping and loading forces assessed for deformation; this is evaluated at proposal stage.
