AAK hydraulic valve has a proprietary valve block anti-rust treatment technology. A special coating with a thickness of 0.02 ~ 0.03 mm is plated on the surface of the hydraulic valve block. The coating has excellent adsorption, is not easy to fall off and has a bright appearance. On this point alone, it has crushed most of its peers. After several email communications, Russian customer resolutely placed an order with AAK.
Due to the limitation of process, most hydraulic valve factories adopt surface painting or conventional electroplating for the anti-rust treatment of the hydraulic valve block surface. Such anti-rust treatment on the surface of the valve block will cause problems in the routine maintenance or repair of the hydraulic valve in the future. It is mainly reflected in that the valve block is easy to be scratched, causing corrosion and increasing system pollution. Besides, falling paint and other sundries are also easy to enter the valve block channel and bring pollutants directly to the system, resulting in secondary pollution of the system and accidents. The trouble is that it is generally difficult to find the problem of rust prevention on the surface of these valve blocks in the short term.
Anatoly, a Russian hydraulic customer, purchased a batch of hydraulic valve blocks in March from a factory. There were no problems in the preliminary test and final inspection. However, he continued to receive feedback from consumers in the last month. After setting up and debugging, the surface of the valve block fell off paint, rusted, and even there is pollution inside the system. According to the statistics of the information received, among the 200 products purchased, there are nearly 100 products in this situation now, and only 100 are still on sale. Anatoly found something wrong and immediately asked to suspend the sales of the remaining products. At the same time, he communicated with suppliers for many times for these inferior products, but the supplier's attitude was very bad and had always been unable to give accurate solutions.
Anatoly used to interact with us on the B2B platform. We didn't know the problems of his valve block until we received his email last month. For these problems, we talked about the current hydraulic market in the reply to his email. In order to save costs, many peers use very conventional anti-rust treatment on the valve blocks. There are mainly two processes:
Directly paint the valve block surface after assembling the components. During component disassembly, replacement and maintenance, it is very easy to damage the paint around the component. At the same time, the fallen paint and other sundries are also easy to enter the valve block duct and cause system pollution
After all the valve blocks are processed, a layer of oxide film plating is carried out. The surface oxide film is relatively thin, which is easy to be scratched, causing corrosion and increasing system pollution.
AAK hydraulic valve, adopts URMA reaming technology of Swiss quality to process the valve spool hole in the hydraulic valve block. With the precision, reliable and efficient URMA reaming technology, the high precision of the valve spool hole of the hydraulic valve block is ensured, and the stable surface quality and tolerance range are maintained in the whole hole diameter. Brody, an American customer, had asked about no less than 20 hydraulic valve manufacturers, but no hydraulic valve block manufacturer had the ability to undertake his order for hydraulic valve blocks with special valve spool holes. After 3 days of communication with AAK hydraulic valve, he directly placed a trial order for 200 hydraulic valve blocks. The valve spool hole is the key point in the hydraulic valve block. Many hydraulic valve block manufacturers do not have their own high precision equipment, so they can only process outside. Generally, the outside processing centers only process according to the process parameters, and rarely consider the properties, use scenarios, and service life of machining components. It is difficult to continuously and stably grasp the diameter dimensional tolerance of valve spool hole, coaxiality, cylindricity and roughness. Once such a hydraulic valve block is used, it will directly affect the quality and operation stability of the whole hydraulic system. Brody, who needed to purchase a batch of special hydraulic valve blocks, asked no less than 20 hydraulic manufacturers, but no manufacturer was able to undertake this order. Brody browsed our website, www.aakindustry.com, emailed us, listed us the process parameters of the valve spool hole in the hydraulic valve block, and the internal anatomy diagram, and asked if we could do it? This hydraulic valve block had high precision requirements due to the existence of most segmented structures in the valve spool hole, small diameter dimensional tolerance of the valve spool hole, and many precision requirements such as coaxiality. This processing was very difficult. I was also curious why Brody didn't ask us like other customers what tools we used. Brody said he didn't need a tool for machining holes, but holes. When Brody learned that we AAK hydraulic valve could meet the process requirements of his hydraulic valve block and was willing to make a sample for him to test, he seemed to feel that perhaps only AAK hydraulic valve could help him solve the problem of this hydraulic valve block. When he received our hydraulic valve block samples, he informed us by email on the 3rd day that the test results of hydraulic valve block met the requirements. He was also curious about how we AAK hydraulic valve achieved it. AAK hydraulic valve, adopts URMA reaming technology of Swiss quality to process the valve spool hole in the hydraulic valve block.
Malcolm is a purchaser from an American hydraulic equipment manufacturer. He has purchased various hydraulic valves from AAK for some years. We know each other very well. At the beginning of the year before last, their company received an urgent order from a customer in South America. The company required that the accessories of the whole hydraulic system must be in place within 20 days. AAK is their long-term supplier of hydraulic valve blocks. Malcolm estimates that if the hydraulic valve blocks are purchased from AAK this time, including the transportation and customs clearance time, it will be over 20 days. AAK is only required to offer the quotation according to the hydraulic valve block drawings for their file and is informed that due to time constraints, they will first purchase the hydraulic valve blocks from the local hydraulic valve manufacturer this time. About 8 months after our quotation, Malcolm asked by email about what is the reason for the leakage of the hydraulic valve blocks. I asked jokingly if leakage happened in the hydraulic valve blocks purchased locally last time. He said that the customer initially complained that about 30% of the hydraulic valve blocks were leaking. The local manufacturer also replaced the bad hydraulic valve blocks with new ones. However, 3-4 months after installation, the customer reported that there was leakage fault of the hydraulic valve blocks again. Now the customer is not satisfied with the stability of the hydraulic valve blocks and needs the leakage problem of the hydraulic valve blocks solved at one time. The trouble is that the local hydraulic valve manufacturer in the United States does not cooperate to replace the hydraulic valve blocks again. We replied that if we simply look at the leakage cause of the hydraulic valve block, the probability is that the surface roughness of the hydraulic valve block is not up to standard, or the roughness Ra value of the hydraulic valve block is unstable. According to the requirements of these working conditions of your hydraulic equipment, if the Ra value is stable at 0.4um, the problem of hydraulic valve block leakage will not occur. 10 days later, AAK sent 12 samples of hydraulic valve blocks for emergency first. After 20 days, the remaining 30% of the hydraulic valve block was sent from AAK. Now, 12 months have passed, and no complaint from customer. Malcolm mentioned 2 days ago that the customer was ready to place an order again. This time, his owner said that no matter how urgent it was, it was necessary to purchase from AAK, because AAK hydraulic valve block was the most trustworthy, and the owner would communicate with the customer about the delivery date. Why can AAK achieve the surface roughness Ra value of hydraulic valve block to 0.4um? First of all, the Ra value of the hydraulic valve is the cornerstone. The coarser the surface, the easier it is to wear. The intermediate gap gradually increases during use
AAK hydraulic valve block adopts multi edge particle cutting with diamond reamer, the accuracy can reach 0.002mm, and the surface roughness can reach Ra 0.2um, the precision is twice that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers, and there is no iron filings. Because the price of AAK hydraulic valve block is a little higher than that of peers, LIEBHERR excluded AAK from the supplier list. However, 3 months later, LIEBHERR still placed an order for the hydraulic valve block with AAK. This morning, I received an order for hydraulic valve block from Herta from LIEBHERR company in Germany, which was a little unexpected. Because this is the hydraulic valve block that AAK sent sample for 3 months ago. Since the sample was sent, there was no news about the sample. After several follow up emails, the reply was "unqualified". I asked about the reason why the hydraulic valve block was unqualified, but didn't get reply. Now I can't understand why the order comes to us 3 months later. Herta is mainly responsible for the procurement of hydraulic accessories of LIEBHERR. In the first half of this year, his company needed to purchase a batch of high-precision hydraulic valve blocks for hydraulic excavators. At that time, he selected 5 hydraulic valve factories to send samples to test the quality and conduct assembly tests. 3 months later, after comprehensive comparison, their technical team found that the test data of AAK hydraulic valve block was the best among the 5 hydraulic valve manufacturers. I asked Herta curiously why the reply he gave us 3 months ago was "unqualified". He replied that your quotation was unqualified and more expensive than the other 4 hydraulic valve manufacturers, so we judged AAK to be unqualified. After 3 months of testing, the technical team believes that AAK's hydraulic valve block has the highest precision, the strongest durability and the simplest follow-up maintenance. Although the price of AAK is a little higher than that of other suppliers, according to the comparison of various parameters, the hydraulic valve block of AAK can enable LIEBHERR to reduce the cost of subsequent maintenance, so the technical department designated AAK to supply this hydraulic valve block. Herta asked us why some parameters of AAK hydraulic valve block are twice better than those of peers? The high precision of AAK hydraulic valve block mainly comes from the diamond reamer used in AAK machining center, which is a multi edge particle cutting. In the reaming process, the chips are hidden between the diamond particles and thrown out via coolant flushing and high-speed rotation, so that the chip removal in the first step is complete.
AAK uses the DMG five axis machining center imported from Germany, which improves the stability and accuracy by 30%. Less than 5% of the hydraulic valve block manufacturers in the domestic industry are equipped with this set of equipment. After suffering losses elsewhere, an American customer went back to AAK after 45 days to place the order for hydraulic valve blocks. Last December, I received an inquiry from American customer Joshua about a hydraulic valve block. At that time, I was a little surprised to see the accuracy requirements of the hydraulic valve block. The accuracy was 5% higher than that of HydraForce series. This was not a small challenge, but I was still confident. The next day, I sent quotation to Joshua directly. Joshua then said that it was 12% higher compared with other hydraulic valve block manufacturers, he could not place an order with AAK. After 45 days, Joshua asked us whether the last quotation of hydraulic valve block was still valid. If the original price is maintained, he will place the order for the hydraulic valve block. For the sincerity of cooperation, Joshua also frankly told why he moved the hydraulic valve block order to AAK. The original hydraulic valve block manufacturer made samples for two times, and the parameters of each hydraulic valve block were not very stable. Some hydraulic valve block sample had very good accuracy, while others were very poor, which wasted 3 weeks of time. Joshua also checked with other manufacturers. All of them are not confident to achieve the accuracy that is 5% higher than that of HydraForce series. Another 2 weeks were wasted again. The customer was very angry that the order has been placed for 5 weeks, but the sample of the hydraulic valve block still could not be approved. Joshua felt that only AAK can make the sample successfully at one time. Even if it is 12% more expensive, it is acceptable. Aware of Joshua's dilemma, we specially spare a high-precision DMG five axis machining center lathe to arrange the proofing of this hydraulic valve block. A week later, AAK sent the hydraulic valve block samples. After 10 days, there was still no feedback from Joshua about the hydraulic valve block samples. We asked Joshua to know that he was also waiting nervously. Until Joshua's email last week, we know that his customer was very surprised that the accuracy of this hydraulic valve block sample not only exceeded 5% that of the HydraForce series, but the parameter stability of AAK hydraulic valve block was also more than 30% higher than that last time. Frankly, we were not surprised by this data, because more than one customer was surprised by the accuracy parameters of AAK hydraulic valve blocks. The reason why the accuracy of AAK hydraulic valve block exceeds 5% of HydraForce series is that it firstly benefits from the continuous updating of the equipment. When the vast majority of hydraulic valve block
AAK uses endoscope C50 to detect the internal burr of the hydraulic valve block, and then sprays the burr remaining in the hydraulic valve block with high-pressure solution, so that there is nowhere for the burr to hide. Nearly 95% of domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers are not equipped with endoscope and ignore 100% removal of the residual burr of the hydraulic valve block. The American customer who has suffered a loss elsewhere chose to order from AAK again. Most domestic hydraulic valve manufacturers use conventional physical methods to deal with the burr of hydraulic valve block, and check whether the burr is cleaned by experience, especially the burr of deep hole or magnetic burr, which can hardly be cleaned. It is common that the defective rate of hydraulic valve block exceeds the standard due to human error. At the beginning of last year, we received an inquiry for hydraulic valve block from Hunter, an American customer. We calculated the price according to his hydraulic valve block drawings. Hunter was not satisfied with our quotation. Because the communication was very pleasant, I wanted to make friends with hunter and gave up my commission to adjust the price. Hunter frankly said that although the new price of AAK hydraulic valve block meets his target price, the prices of other hydraulic valve manufacturers are still cheaper than those of AAK. We can only withdraw from the purchase of hydraulic valve block amicably. If something goes unusual, there will be problems. 2 months later, Hunter came back to us and said that he was very willing to accept our quotation for hydraulic valve block. He informed that there were different degrees of burrs at the internal cross holes of the hydraulic valve block samples proofed by the original hydraulic valve manufacturer. The hydraulic valve block samples were modified 3 times. Each time the cartridge valve was installed and debugged, the valve spool was stuck from time to time. The factory has also conducted commissioning for many times, and has been unable to remove burrs for 100%. He can only give up this hydraulic valve manufacturer and came back to AAK. Burr must be produced in the drilling process of hydraulic valve block, which is very harmful to the hydraulic system. In addition to adopting appropriate treatment process for burr removal, it is also necessary to have relevant auxiliary testing equipment to guarantee the complete 100% removal of burr. Hunter asked us to arrange approval samples of hydraulic valve block immediately. After 15 days, we sent the hydraulic valve block samples. On the 3rd day after Hunter received the samples, he sent an email to inform AAK that the samples passed testing at one time. Hunter admired that AAK can get the hydraulic valve block samples approved at one time that the peer can't get approval at 3 times. At the same time, he also expressed his curiosity about how AAK can accurately remove the burrs?
Mason, an old customer of hydraulic valves from the United States. In March this year, he was not satisfied with the quotation of one of our hydraulic valve blocks, which was nearly 7% higher than his target price, so he didn't place an order with AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE. Unexpectedly, he sent an email last week asking whether our quotation of hydraulic valve block in March was still valid. We replied that you were our old customer and the price must be valid. Mason also frankly told us that there was a problem with the hydraulic valve blocks he purchased, which made him very headache now. After communication, we learned that there were no problems in the preliminary test and shipment inspection on the hydraulic valve blocks produced by his previous hydraulic valve manufacturer. In the recent month, users had gradually reported that after setting up and debugging, the surface of the hydraulic valve block fell off paint, rusted, and even there was pollution inside the hydraulic system. Nearly 60% of the 300 hydraulic valve blocks purchased had this situation, and only 40% were still on sale. His manager found something wrong and suspended the sale of the remaining products. The hydraulic valve manufacturer believed that this was caused by the improper use of the hydraulic valve block by the user, and was only willing to replenish 10% of goods to solve this problem. His manager asked him to find a qualified hydraulic valve block supplier as soon as possible. Because the use scenario of this hydraulic valve block was special, Mason knew that AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE could solve this problem, but his did not have authority to pay a 7% higher price. He contacted no less than 10 hydraulic valve manufacturers, and only 3 of them replied. They could solve the paint falling and rust spots on the surface of the hydraulic valve block, but the internal pollution could not be 100% avoided because they did not know the user's operation. The remaining hydraulic valve manufacturers did not give any reply at all. Mason was very helpless. He had to bite the bullet and asked his manager for help if the purchasing price could be raised. When his manager learned about the whole purchase process, he asked Mason, why he did not report this situation in March? After the delivery date provided by AAK HYDRAULIC VALVE was agreed by his users, Mason sent us the order for this hydraulic valve block, and asked us to ship as early as possible. At the same time, his manager was curious about how we did it. The anti-rust treatment of AAK hydraulic valve block in the past is the same as that in other factories, which adopts surface painting or conventional electroplating treatment. The pain point of this process is that the hydraulic valve block is easy to be scratched, causing corrosion and increasing system pollution. We understand these potential problems of this process, and our technical team adheres to the new process exploration, so that AAK now has its own unique
The original manufacturer was unable to meet the valve hole requirement for the hydraulic valve block, and Caltha returned to AAK 2 months later Caltha is from Mexico and has been purchasing hydraulic valve blocks in Ningbo China for 5 years. AAK is also one of his suppliers of hydraulic valve blocks. At the beginning of this year, their old buyer left the company and Caltha began to be responsible for the procurement of hydraulic valve blocks. The first inquiry I received from Caltha was for hydraulic valve blocks. A week later, Caltha informed AAK that the price was 17% higher and she chose another hydraulic valve block manufacturer in China. Upon seeing this big price difference, I had to give up. 2 months later, Caltha emailed me asking if the hydraulic valve blocks quoted at the beginning of the year could be completed for 5 samples within 25 days. I felt Caltha's anxiety, and after communication, I learned that the hole accuracy of the hydraulic valve block produced by the original manufacturer was not up to standard. However, the manufacturer blamed some valve hole accuracy deviations on being normal, and using electric sealant could solve the leakage. Caltha didn't want to take any risks and came back to AAK I can understand Caltha's emotions, after all, their company is a loyal customer of AAK. Our technical team started to decompose the hydraulic valve block drawings immediately. Within 25 days, AAK sent 5 hydraulic valve block samples. 2 weeks later, Caltha informed AAK that their hydraulic manifold had been tested successfully. She asked me to wait for the batch order of hydraulic valve blocks. The processing of hydraulic valve block valve holes that the original manufacturer cannot handle mainly depends on the selection of equipment and the control of accuracy. The processing of this AAK hydraulic valve block adopts the Taikan Group Processing Center, which has 3 major advantages: 1. The machining is stable, and its spindle structure adopts high-quality mihanna cast iron, with stable movement. For the same batch of hydraulic valve blocks, using the same tool and processing program, the motion trajectory of the tool is the same, and its CNC program achieves computer control, which can avoid human error. Most hydraulic valve block manufacturers do not choose this equipment. 2. High precision. The valve hole accuracy is within 0.005mm, and the repeated positioning accuracy can reach 0.003mm, and precision correction and compensation can be carried out simultaneously using CNC software. 3. High production efficiency. The spindle speed can reach 24000 RPM, and it also has functions such as automatic speed change, automatic tool change, and other auxiliary operation automation. Compared to ordinary machine tools, the production efficiency is 3-4 times higher. AAK hydraulic valve block, fast processing, and guaranteed accuracy, you can also give it a try!
Zero from Italy often purchases hydraulic valve blocks. In previous years, his customer gave 95 days for delivery date. Some time ago, the customer had an urgent order for 1,200pcs of hydraulic valve blocks, and there was only 60 days from the sample of hydraulic valve blocks to delivery. For non-standard hydraulic valve blocks, the lead time is less than 30 days from drawing design, sample, service life test, production and delivery. Zero consulted all hydraulic valve block manufacturers in cooperation. They all said that it would take 60 days to complete the urgent order of 1,200 hydraulic valve blocks only for production, and the lead time in 90 days is necessary. Zero can't refuse the customer directly, so he has to find a new manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks. Zero also understands that it is not easy to find a reliable manufacturer of hydraulic valve blocks. Moreover, this is an urgent order, and the processing of hydraulic valve blocks is also complex. There was no reply from all the manufacturers he contacted on the Internet. Occasionally, he mentioned this urgent order of hydraulic valve blocks with his friend Caled. Caled introduced him to try AAK hydraulic valves. Caled is a customer that I have worked with for several years on integrated valve blocks. Caled told Zero that AAK helped him solve several urgent orders for manifolds, and the quality was guaranteed. Zero said frankly that he was introduced by Caled and hoped to get our help. According to the drawing sent by zero, the hydraulic valve block has long and thin channels and complex oil circuit design, which is unbearable for general processing. AAK technical team first arranged the production procedure and calculated the daily output of hydraulic valve blocks. It would take 30 days to complete this urgent order. While Zero was pleased, he seemed a little worried about the quality of AAK hydraulic valve blocks. Three weeks later, their engineers tested AAK hydraulic valve block samples. The overall accuracy parameter of the hydraulic valve block is 5% higher than that of the original manufacturer, which proves what Caled has mentioned that AAK quality mentioned is guaranteed. After working overtime for 30 days, AAK successfully completed the urgent order of 1,200 hydraulic valve blocks for Zero, which is half less than the 60 days of lead time required by peers. Zero was surprised how AAK achieved it? AAK adopts the machining center of compound tools to combine two or more similar or different types of hole machining tools into one special tool. In the process of machining, reduce the tools required for machining X, Y, V and U partial views, and complete the process combination of multiple processes such as drilling, reaming, spot facing and boring. At the same time, one tool can simultaneously process threaded bottom holes, 45 , 15 , R0.1 chamfer and outer counter bore, which greatly
Smith is the head purchasing of a hydraulic company from California. His purchasing of hydraulic valves in recent years has been smooth. In the last hydraulic valve block order, the parameters were normal when the hydraulic valve block approval sample was tested for the first time, but there was oil leakage in the second test on the hydraulic valve block. After rechecking, the oil leaked again in the third test on the hydraulic valve block. Smith communicated with the hydraulic valve block manufacturer for many times but without results. The manufacturer said that this is the traditional sealing process of hydraulic valve block, Smith should either accept it as is or cancel the order. Smith knew that the delivery date confirmed with the customer was due in 1 month, so it was urgent to find a new hydraulic valve block manufacturer to replace the current one. Smith checked the sealing process of no less than 20 hydraulic valve block manufacturers. They all adopted the traditional sealing method of hexagonal plug combined with and sealing gasket. Smith knew that although this sealing method is simple to operate, it has very high requirements for tightening torque. When the torque parameters are not up to standard, the hydraulic valve block is easy to leak. In order to prevent leakage, some hydraulic valve block manufacturers apply anaerobic glue on the threads. During operation, the particles of anaerobic glue fall into the valve hole, causing oil pollution or valve jamming of the hydraulic valve block. The delivery date is approaching day by day, but the new qualified hydraulic valve block manufacturer has not been found yet. Smith is worried and asks around. His friend Caleb gave him the contact information of AAK hydraulic valve. Caleb is also our hydraulic valve customer in the United States. He suggested Smith contact AAK, and told him that AAK hydraulic valve exports to European and American markets all year round and has some unique R & D processes. Perhaps AAK will be different in the sealing treatment process of hydraulic valve block. Smith directly sent us the hydraulic valve block drawing and required that the traditional sealing technology should not be used. A week later, AAK sent the hydraulic valve block sample successfully. Two weeks later, Smith informed AAK by email that the parameters of AAK hydraulic valve block were fully up to standard after 3 tests, and there was still no leakage after the 4th and 5th tests. Smith is very curious about how the sealing process of AAK hydraulic valve block is different from that of other hydraulic valve manufacturers? The vast majority of hydraulic valve manufacturers fail to seal the hydraulic valve block in place because they stick to the rules in technology. 6 years ago, AAK was eliminated by the customer due to the leakage of the traditional sealing technology of the hydraulic valve block. After that, we deci
