Machine-tool construction
is a typical area of application of hydraulics. With modern CNC
machine tools, the tools and workpieces are clamped by hydraulic
means. Feed motions and the spindle drive can also be
hydraulically powered.
This can also serve as an example of hydraulic circuit with two pressure ranges, for example, 3 MPa (30 bar) for machining and 9 MPa (90 bar) for clamping.
