Machining Process.
Blank Turning:
Blank turning uses CNC turning machines to convert steel billets into initial blank workpieces. Through precision cutting and shaping techniques, these machines sculpt the raw material into basic forms that serve as the starting point for further refinement and manufacturing processes.
Deburred threaded ports,.
This is an important stage for the production of the hydraulic cylinder ends as it ensures the creation of workpieces with the required dimensions and geometries before advancing to more intricate procedures such as the milling ports and internal threading.
Machining Centre, 4-Axis Machining:
The 4-axis capability allows for multidirectional cutting and precise milling of ports.
This process ensures accuracy and consistency in the manufacturing of complex hydraulic cylinder ends, meeting specific design requirements with a high degree of precision.
Manufacturing process: blank turning, 4-axis machining.
Quality Control.

Quality checks are performed at all stages of the manufacturing process, which is vital when it comes to these very intricate components for customers.
Full diagnostic capability for checking parts, CMM, Surface Measurement, Go/NoGo Gauges, and Material Analysis.
All CNC machinery at our facility is operated by experienced operators who have vast experience in producing complex components in multiple stages.
The manufacturing team use custom-made Go/NoGo Gauges to ensure the ports are made to exact customer specifications.
Quality and spot checks throughout the machining process.
Deburring, cleaning and oiling.
Manual deburring methods used.
Manual Deburring and Cleaning:
Post-machining steps like deburring, cleaning, and oiling are vital in finishing hydraulic cylinder ends, ensuring their functionality, performance and appearance.
Deburring is a critical process in manufacturing that involves removing unwanted burrs, sharp edges, or excess material from a workpiece.
In the case of ported hydraulic cylinder ends, deburring is particularly crucial due to the precision required in these parts and the impact any imperfections might have on the performance of the hydraulic systems they are used in.
Manual deburring involves using handheld tools or equipment to remove burrs or imperfections from the surfaces of components.
After the deburring is completed the ported hydraulic cylinder end is cleaned in a solvent solution to eliminate any excess material that may be present.
Reporting and Documentation.
Quality and traceability reports for all parts.
Full Quality and Traceability Reporting:
All components are delivered with the relevant quality documentation, traceability reports and material certifications.
Each hydraulic cylinder component delivered to the customer is accompanied by comprehensive quality documentation, ensuring transparency and accountability in manufacturing processes.
Traceability reports detailing the entire manufacturing journey of the component are provided, allowing for complete visibility into its production stages, from raw material sourcing to the final product.
Material certifications validate the quality and properties of the materials used in the production of hydraulic cylinder ends.
