VOSS Fluid at bauma China

VOSS Fluid, an internationally operating manufacturer of tube connections for hydraulic systems, will be showing construction industry trade visitors its highly-efficient “made in Germany" solutions at bauma China. The presentation will focus on the VOSSForm^SQR system, including a tube-forming machine which can quickly shape off-the-shelf hydraulic tubing to the desired tube coupling contour. This system, in combination with a metal seal and a soft seal, ensures reliable processes and leak-tight hydraulic tube couplings. Anyone interested in testing the entire procedure in a live demonstration is welcome to do so in Hall N1, stand N1.334. The “VOSS coat” zinc-nickel surface finish, a proprietary VOSS development, is another show highlight. This finish effectively protects products against corrosion. And users benefit from the economical hydraulic couplings and their long service lives.

Maximum process reliability and safety, short assembly times and low system costs: these are the advantages offered to users of VOSSForm^SQR tube couplings in mass production processes. The system includes a stub, a seal ring of elastomer material and a nut with integrated clamping ring. The soft seal combination increases leak prevention in tube connections with a much higher reliability than standard purely metallic seals. In addition, the components improve pressure load capability and effectively prevent tube breakage at the contoured section. VOSS Fluid has designed the individual elements to match one another perfectly in order to make the assembly process user-friendly and reliable. These features are further ensured by the corresponding fully-automated VOSSForm 100 tube forming machine. The integrated stop unit guarantees that the tube is positioned precisely – even if the semi-finished part has not been deburred correctly. Operation of the machine is intuitive and permits easy tool changes and reliable, safe forming work. The main advantages for users are short production cycles, low assembly costs and extreme user-friendliness.

Effective corrosion protection – developed and produced by VOSS

Lasting corrosion protection is one of the main requirements placed on hydraulic couplings in the construction machinery sector. To create durable tube connection parts, VOSS Fluid uses its own electroplating plant to put a VOSS coat finish on all articles. In comparison with other off-the-shelf coatings, this zinc-nickel surface finish impresses users by its considerably higher resistance to corrosion and mechanical stresses. For example, it has been proved that this surface finish protects the base material against red rust development for 1,000 hours in productive use after handling and assembly of parts.
