In the hydraulic industry, custom CNC parts are critical for ensuring the performance and reliability of hydraulic systems. The Hinz Company exemplifies excellence in this field by delivering precise, high-quality components tailored to specific applications. A recent project undertaken by Hinz highlights their expertise in manufacturing custom plug assemblies for hydraulic applications, showcasing the advanced capabilities of CNC machining.

Project Overview: Custom Plug Assembly

Hinz was commissioned by the largest pump supplier in the world to create a custom plug assembly for a hydraulic application. This project required strict adherence to precision tolerances of ±0.001 of an inch, demonstrating Hinz's commitment to quality and accuracy.

Advanced CNC Machining Process

Utilizing state-of-the-art CNC lathe technology, including live tooling and sub-spindle capabilities, Hinz efficiently produced the steel plug assembly in a single operation, completing the machining process in under three minutes of un-manned time. This innovative approach not only streamlines production but also enhances cost-effectiveness, ensuring that clients receive high-quality parts without unnecessary delays.

Quality Assurance and Finishing

After the machining process, Hinz applied a corrosion-resistant zinc coating to the plug assembly, ensuring durability and longevity in hydraulic applications. A series of dimensional checks were conducted to confirm that the part met the exact specifications provided by the client.

Following the quality checks, three o-rings were carefully assembled onto the plug assembly. This attention to detail ensures that the component functions correctly within the hydraulic system, providing a reliable seal that is essential for optimal performance.

Packaging and Delivery

Once completed, the custom plug assembly was meticulously packaged and shipped to the client's location in North Carolina. Hinz's dedication to quality and reliability throughout the manufacturing process has solidified their reputation as a trusted partner in the hydraulic industry.

Conclusion

The Hinz Company specializes in custom machining and component fabrication, successfully manufacturing parts that meet the high expectations of clients in the hydraulic sector. Their recent project highlights the importance of precision, efficiency, and quality assurance in producing custom CNC parts. By leveraging advanced technology and expertise, Hinz continues to set a standard for excellence in the hydraulic industry, providing reliable and cost-effective solutions to their customers.
