Parker Hydraulics uses Ten Kurt Cluster Towers
Increases output while reducing setup

Chanhassen, Minnesota: Parker Hannifin Corporation (Integrated Hydraulics Division) is a world leader in the manufacture of hydraulic cartridge products and integrated systems utilized in fluid power applications. The hydraulic manifold blocks for these products require precision machining which is done on a Mazak Palletech system with two FH 4800 horizontal machining centers (HMC's) equipped with a series of Kurt CarvLock Cluster Towers.

To maximize productivity for its diverse product mix, Parker Hydraulics uses an extremely well-planned high density Kurt Workholding system that accommodates many different size manifold blocks in relatively small production runs. Manufactured out of 11L17 and 12L14 steel, ductile iron and aluminum, these manifold blocks are finished machined in several sizes with various configurations of SAE ports, valve cavities, and threaded holes, most with precision features. The manifold blocks range in size from 1 inch to 15 inch widths and lot sizes average around 100. (read more)
