Hydraulic Machining Services: Precision Engineering on a Grand Scale
Precision hydraulic machining to meet exact specifications
At K&R Hydraulics, precision is not just a goal; it’s the foundation of everything we do. As a leader in hydraulic manufacturing, our world-class machining capabilities are the key to delivering components that meet the tightest tolerances for hydraulic performance and beyond.
We invest heavily in innovation and excellence with ongoing investment in new machinery and software. Our highly trained and experienced machining operators can precision engineer hydraulic machinery and components from a wide range of metals including special stainless steels and titanium for optimal strength, durability and corrosion resistance.
Our Unmatched Machining Capabilities
K&R Hydraulics has one of the biggest and most versatile machine shops in Australia to handle projects of any size and complexity:
No jobs too big. Table surface 10M x 1.3M. X axis travel of 8MY axis travel of 1.5M & Z axis travel of 2M Universal auto positioning head, inbuilt turning table & 4th axis rotary table.
One of only a few in Australia. With 10 metres between centres and 525mm spindle bore its full CNC. This is critical for manufacturing and remanufacturing any hydraulic cylinder components the market requires, especially the big ones.
Our range of tuned boring bars can machine bores up to 6 metres deep. This special capability ensures perfect concentricity and surface finish, critical for large hydraulic cylinders.
Our facility has a wide range of modern equipment for complex machining:
- 4 Axis Vertical Machining Centre (1,000mm Table)
- 4 Axis Turning Centre (1,000mm between Centres)
- 5 Axis Simultaneous Machining Centre (700mm Table)
- 2 Axis CNC Lathe (1,500mm between Centres)
- 2 Axis CNC Lathe (2,500mm between Centres)
- 3 Axis CNC Lathe (10,000mm between Centres with live tooling)
- Conventional Machines for the simpler pieces.
We ensure surface integrity with:
- Surface Grinders: (300W x 600L Table & 400W x 800L Table) for ultra-flat and smooth sealing surfaces
- Lapping Equipment:
- Flat Lapping: 1x 400 dia Table & 1x 900 dia Table
- Conical Lapping: 1x 350 dia
This equipment is critical for micron-level flatness and surface finish for sealing and running surfaces in pumps, motors and valves.
Why K&R Hydraulics for Your Machining?
Our machining capabilities are unmatched, giving you advantages for your projects:
8M Kiheung Rigitrax CNC Bed Mill, 10M Geminis CNC Lathe and deep boring means we can machine components few others in Australia can. Ideal for large industrial and mining equipment.
Our modern machinery and highly trained operators ensure every component is machined to exact standards and tight tolerances for perfect fit and performance.
We can work with a wide range of l metals including high-strength and corrosion resistant alloys like special stainless steels and titanium so your components will last in harsh environments.
By keeping complex machining in-house we have control over quality, cost and project timelines.
Our machining complements our hydraulic design, repairs and repair services. We machine (or modify existing) components to fix design flaws and extend the life of hydraulic equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
We combine modern CNC technology with the craftsmanship of experienced operators to produce a product that meets the toughest industrial requirements.
