Hydraulics to Customer Specification
Horst Thiele Maschinenbau-Hydraulische Geräte GmbH, based in Neuenstadt am Kocher, manufactures customer-specific hydraulic solutions for mobile and industrial hydraulics. The product range includes single- and double-acting cylinders, telescopic and multi-area cylinders, rack-and-pinion swing actuators, pressure intensifiers, hydraulic blocks, hose burst protection valves, electrohydraulic drives as well as the steering-lift axle. The high depth of manufacturing includes CNC turning up to 6000 mm between centers and 6 t workpiece weight, machining centers up to 1600 mm edge length, deep-hole drilling from Ø 3 to 180 mm at drilling depths up to 100 × Ø, welding using MAG, TIG and submerged-arc processes as well as slotting on a specially developed, freely programmable machine. Repeat orders and series are produced partly in unmanned shifts with bar feeders, robot loading and pallet magazines. Customers come, among others, from mining, press manufacturing, heavy haulage logistics, recycling, the fire brigade and airport sectors, and power plant engineering. Programs and drawings are consistently archived, so spare parts can also be supplied decades later.
