control is desired. For the proper operation and getting the
best out of the Machine Tools and plant, all that is required,
is improvement in the design, operation and maintenance of
the power and motion control system of the machine tool
and automation.
Design of the system plays very important part in the
performance and maintenance of the automation system.
For efficient operation, energy conservation and long service
life without causing any major brake-down, it is essential
to consider certain important points during designing and
operation of the Hydraulic System:
a) Incorporation of the Suitable / Fail-Safe Accumulators for
conservation of energy and instant power supply.
b) H2 O Pro Spin-on Filter to remove the moisture and water
content from the system.
c) H2 O Gate Breather for restricting the moisture to enter.
d) Oil Level Indicator-cum-Controller.
e) Electro-Hydraulic Pressure Controls.
Bang-Bang operation.
f) Temperature Controllers.
g) Honeycomb type Oil Cooler to maintain the temperature
of the system.
h) Contamination Control and Monitoring systems.
i) Variable Delivery Pumps for conservation of energy and
improving the efficiency of the system.
j) Air-Bleed Valve in pump outlet line to protect the system
from air.
k) Pulsation Dampener to reduce the Hydraulic pulses,
Vibration and Noise.
l) Flow divider-cum-combiner for simultaneous operation of
Cylinders.
m) Dynamic Controlled pressure control-cum-relief valves to
offer a stabilized pressure in the system.
n) Automatic Power Saving Flow Controller for adjustable
speeds and to conserve the energy and also increase the
system performance.
o) Using the new generation Hydraulic Cylinders with no
Stick-Slip action.
p) Anti-Creep Valves for holding of cylinders.
q) Soft-shift Solenoid controlled Directional Valves for No-
r) AutomaticIndicating Inlet Filter with in-built By-pass, Air-
bleed and Electrical indicator-cum-controller or
s) Provide Anti-Cavitation Suction Strainers to save the
system against Cavitation.
