Maximum impact with minimal effort – paths to greater productivity

MAPAL has developed standard processes for the industrial production of strategic components. On that basis, these tool solutions are modified according to requirements, to help customers boost their productivity. Success stories from various market segments show just how well this works.

Productivity is boosted when the same effect is achieved with less effort, or if a greater yield is achieved with the same effort. If more is achieved with less effort, you’ve reached the peak of boosted productivity: maximum effect for minimal effort. For instance, this might involve the use of fewer tools, which allow higher quantities to be produced in the same amount of time.

Adapted solutions for hydraulics
In the fluid power market segment, for instance, MAPAL can draw on a model process for machining the spool bore in hydraulic valve housings. This bore always has a similar design in hydraulic systems for construction machines, agricultural machines and others. In order to be able to control different oil circuits via the spool position, the bore in which it moves must be very precise. MAPAL generally pilots this bore with a solid carbide drill first and then prepares it with a boring tool for finishing.
