FAQ
Find answers to common questions about our products, services, and support.
How is multi‑port position tolerance ensured on Manifold Body machining?
We utilize CNC machining center multi‑axis simultaneous motion and in‑process probe measurement systems to monitor hole positions in real time. Critical hole position tolerances are controlled within drawing requirements and verified through CMM sampling inspection.
How are burrs removed from internal cross‑drilled holes in manifolds?
Cross‑hole deburring is a critical step in manifold machining. We employ a combination of specialized deburring tools, high‑pressure internal coolant flushing, and chemical deburring processes to ensure no residual burrs remain in flow channels, achieving smooth coolant flow.
What are the machining differences between aluminum and stainless steel manifolds?
Aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061) offers better machinability and higher processing efficiency, but requires attention to stress relief and deformation control. Stainless steel (e.g., SS316L) requires higher cutting forces and causes faster tool wear, necessitating more conservative cutting parameters and more rigid fixturing. We develop processing plans tailored to each material's characteristics.
How is the flatness of manifold port sealing surfaces ensured?
Sealing surfaces are finished by CNC precision milling or turning, with flatness sampled after machining. For aluminum materials, we account for stress‑induced deformation and incorporate semi‑finishing plus finishing operations to ensure final flatness meets drawing requirements.
What is your capacity for manifold component production?
Our monthly capacity exceeds 100,000 pieces. We support prototyping and small‑batch orders for manifold design validation. Lead time and MOQ are determined per drawing and process requirements.
