Engineered Solutions Case Study
Reverse Engineering and Upgrade - AC-130U Selector Valve
Challenge:
- Existing 6-port hydraulic selector valve caused system failures due to pressure transients during switching
- Minimal envelope expansion and very short schedule available for redesign effort
Our Solution:
- Design 9-port selector valve that resolved pressure transient issues and retained existing interface locations
- Minimal impact to envelope dimensions
- $550K reverse engineering/modification contract resulted in deliverable prototypes in 3 months
