DFM Analysis for Quick Couplers
We optimize for liquid cooling reliability before cutting metal:
- Wall thickness uniformity: Prevents distortion during brazing or welding of adjacent manifold plates
- Flow path radius: Internal edges radiused to ≥ 1 mm to eliminate turbulence and cavitation
- Seal groove location: Positioned away from thread runout to prevent O-ring extrusion under pressure
- Retaining feature design: Snap-ring or bayonet grooves machined to ±0.05 mm for consistent retention force
