The company says this excellent starting guide is now available from Amazon, costing £34.99, featuring over 240 pages and 200 colour illustrations and has been endorsed by several organisations including the British Fluid Power Association, Institution of Mechanical Engineers, National Fluid Power Centre, British Valve and Actuator Association and the CEA. w | www.webtec.com. INDUSTRY GUIDE TO EDUCATE TECHNICIANS AND ENGINEERS Was originally formed to reduce the lead times of our hydraulic integrated circuits and system design and build for TRIDENT HYDRAULICS. With over thirty years’ experience of system build, we know the importance of producing a Clean, high precision machined manifolds and components for the hydraulic industry. M4i offers a different approach then just manufacturing a manifold. It can design and manufacture from a circuit drawing and build and test a complete H I C System. We are also your final checker \ inspector before a production run giving customers peace of mind. It does this by running a simulation on its solid modelling CAD System. THERMAL DEBURRING All our manifolds are thermal deburred and camera inspection ready for plating or anodising. Manufacturing in the 12 months of trading we have produced over 2000 manifolds for leading valve manufacturers and system designers and hydraulic engineers. t | 01926 811395 (contact Mike Forster) MANIFOLDS FOR INDUSTRY HYDRAFORCE HYDRAULICS, Birmingham manufacturer of hydraulic valves and manifold systems, has announced it is proud to have featured on the Orange1 FFF racing team car at the second Round of the Blancpain Endurance Series Championship (9th – 12th May).
