Tool package for hydraulic blocks

One shot solution

UM GROOVING LAND TOOL™ is a pro"le cutter which is mainly

used for machining all grooving lands in a spoolbore hole in

one shot. In some cases, half of the grooving lands are ma-

chined from one side and the rest from the other side of the

spoolbore. Furthermore, a UM GROOVING LAND TOOL™ can in

some cases be used in connection with Cavity holes.

The tool is a specially designed tool, which is developed for

machining grooving lands mainly in cast iron materials, but it

can also be used for aluminium and steel. The tool is part of

our existing tool package for the machining of hydraulic valve

blocks reducing the process time by 30-50 %.

The UM GROOVING LAND TOOL™ is a tool for

machining grooving lands in hydraulic valve

bodies within the Fluid Power industry.

Cuts processing times

The UM GROOVING LAND TOOL™ can often replace a cutting tool

with inserts with one to three cutting edges, only machining one

grooving land at a time. There are usually 7-15 grooving lands

in each spoolbore, so UM GROOVING LAND TOOL™ can reduce

machining time considerably.

Tight tolerances

Tolerances between the grooving lands are always assured, as

these dimensions/tolerances are built into the cutting tool.

More reliable process

UM GROOVING LAND TOOL™ is normally two #uted, giving a lower

cutting force than a single #uted. The cutting edges are also made

in a 15° spiral, reducing the risk of vibration and spreading the

cutting forces.
