Design of a hydraulic distributor
The hydraulic block is integrated in a TRUMPF laser system and is used for cooling water distribution. It was developed with the help of internal TRUMPF consulting. The result is a monolithic component with integrated mounting brackets, fewer leakage points and higher output. In comparison with conventional hydraulic distributors, hydraulic distributors produced with the help of additive manufacturing are characterised by the use of up to 60% less material.
