W Company, an automobile transmission shaft processing factory, has successfully improved its CNC lathe operations by integrating AnyPower's advanced servo hydraulic systems. With over 120 CNC lathes in its facility, the company began replacing traditional hydraulic units with AnyPower servo hydraulic units in 2019. To date, 15 units have been installed, each operating for over 10,000 hours without any maintenance issues.
Traditional hydraulic systems often face challenges such as continuous energy consumption, overheating, and slow response times during high-pressure demands. These issues can lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and compromised machining precision. In contrast, AnyPower's servo hydraulic systems address these problems by supplying pressure only when needed, ensuring rapid response times (as fast as 0.01 seconds) and preventing overheating. This not only enhances machining accuracy but also significantly reduces energy consumption.
For instance, W Company reported a 76% energy savings compared to piston-type hydraulic units. During a 24-hour operational test, the servo hydraulic unit consumed only 0.16 kWh per hour, compared to 0.68 kWh for traditional systems. This remarkable efficiency has allowed W Company to recoup its initial investment through reduced electricity bills while benefiting from zero maintenance costs.
By adopting AnyPower's innovative solutions, W Company demonstrates how advanced hydraulic technology can transform CNC machining operations, achieving both cost savings and improved sustainability.
