Developing hydraulic systems
Andreas Voss outlines the benefits of a piping solutions concept designed to save time and money in the development of hydraulic systems.

evelopments in hydraulics are characterised by ever-increasing system pressures and safety requirements, by the sustained need to economise on installation,
maintenance and operational costs and finally by the demand for compact, space-saving power units. Against this backdrop, Parker Hannifin is
now offering with its Complete Piping Solutions programme weldless flange connectors for the design of hydraulic systems. A comprehensive service and advisory package, offering great potential savings, rounds the range off. Tis enables customers worldwide to profit from extensive services from one source, starting with design advice and tubing pre-assembly through to delivery and installation. Te time–consuming co-ordination of

various supplier contacts is no longer required and procurement is simplified. Tis concept became a reality with the Parker Complete Piping Solutions Center (CPS). Te first centre of this kind in Germany is located in Augustdorf, near Bielefeld, close to Parker‘s European Logistics Centre. In this CPS Center large format tube assemblies and flange systems are developed, produced and connected to complete systems in an area of 1,500sqm. Once released by the customer, the final design
data are stored and subsequently can of course be immediately called up for follow-up orders. Ten on modern CNC bending machines in the CPS Center, tube outside diameters up to 220mm are processed by cold forming. Depending on requirements, bending radii of 2 x D to 3 x D are achievable. Te
