Machined to PM
A leading company that manufactures piston pumps and motors for hydrostatic drives
A senior engineer from a leader in the hydrostatic drives industry approached MPP with a pressing challenge. Their company, renowned for manufacturing piston pumps and motors, faced a critical dilemma. They urgently needed to transform a legacy part into a cutting-edge powder metal component. Rapid expansion was on the horizon, and to meet the increasing demand, they considered a significant investment in additional machinery. However, this capital infusion was projected to cost them millions.
Additionally, the original manufacturing process for this crucial part was laborious and resource-intensive, involving multiple intricate steps. Not only did it consume valuable time, but it also resulted in excessive waste.

Rapid expansion was on the horizon, and to meet the increasing demand, they considered a significant investment in additional machinery. However, this capital infusion was projected to cost them millions.
Additionally, the original manufacturing process for this crucial part was laborious and resource-intensive, involving multiple intricate steps. Not only did it consume valuable time, but it also resulted in excessive waste.
In response to this challenge, MPP embarked on an innovative journey. We commenced by crafting a material blend tailored to surpass the customer’s expectations. Extensive testing and analysis led us to the discovery of a material perfectly aligned with the product’s requirements. With this breakthrough in hand, we initiated the prototyping phase, working hand-in-hand with the company to forge a transformative solution. Together, we crafted an answer that not only saved precious time and resources but also promised to revolutionize their manufacturing process.
Reduced capital investment, faster throughput, and less waste
First and foremost, the looming capital investment in additional machinery was dramatically slashed. This significant cost reduction not only fortified the company’s bottom line but also bolstered their competitive edge. By choosing to partner with MPP, they ensured seamless alignment with their production demands, both in terms of timing and budget.
The conversion to powder metal was a game-changer, compressing a once-arduous 10-step process into a fraction of the time and materials previously required. The need for extensive iterations and prototypes became a relic of the past. The results were clear: reduced capital expenditure, expedited throughput, and minimized waste. The company had not just solved a problem but had elevated their operations to new heights, setting a precedent for efficiency and innovation in their industry.
