Manufacturing · Hydraulic Component Manufacturer Management Software

One connected record from honed tube to a tested, serial-numbered hydraulic unit.

Manage hydraulic enquiries, drawings, tube, rod and bar lots, honing and lapping, seal kits, assembly, pressure and cleanliness tests, plating and painting, and repairs in one system. Each cylinder, block or valve carries its serial, its bore and spool readings, the kit fitted and its bench result, so a reseal order years later opens the original build. Test sheets print from saved readings.

  • Bore, stroke and port data keyed from the drawings you quote against
  • Tube stock, open orders and past serials brought in
  • Proof pressure and particle limits agreed with your test engineer

Cylinder, manifold and valve makers follow tube and rod lots, bore readings, seal kits and bench tests under one serial number. GullySystem hosts the system. A repair years later opens the original parts, readings and pressure result instead of starting from a stripped unit.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Drawings differ for every unit

Two cylinders in one family can differ in stroke, rod end, cushioning, port thread and mounting. A shared sheet misses these details, and the wrong drawing reaches the shop.

Tube and rod sizes are matched by memory

A bore of one size meets a rod of another. The assembler discovers the clearance when the seal does not fit.

Bore finish is not recorded

Roundness and surface finish readings from honing sit on a slip. A weeping cylinder cannot be compared with its original reading.

Seal kits are mismatched

The kit depends on bore, rod, pressure and fluid. Part numbers look alike, and the wrong kit is fitted.

Cleanliness proof is thin

Flushing and particle counts are done at the bench. The count is not tied to the serial it applies to.

Repair history is missing

Returned units arrive without a record of their original parts. Each reseal is a fresh investigation.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Enquiry and quotation

    A machine builder sends bore, stroke, ports and working pressure for a cylinder, block or valve. The quote adds tube and rod stock, honing, plating, seal kit and bench time.

  2. 2

    Order and serials

    Orders are released with serials. Each serial gets its parts list, route and test requirements.

  3. 3

    Stock receipt

    Honed tube, ground rod, bar and castings arrive with certificates. Lots are booked and issued to the serials.

  4. 4

    Machining and honing

    Bores are honed, spools lapped and ports drilled. Readings are saved per serial and out-of-limit parts are held.

  5. 5

    Assembly and test

    Seal kits are issued, units are assembled and each serial is proof tested, flushed and checked for particle count.

  6. 6

    Painting, packing and service

    Units are painted, plugged and packed. The serial is later used when a reseal or spare part order arrives.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Enquiries and duty capture

Log bore, stroke, rod, mounting, pressure and port needs with each enquiry, and keep sketches with the quote.

Hydraulic quotations

Price from tube and rod stock, machining, plating, seal kits and test time, with every revision of the buyer’s request kept.

Unit drawing register

Hold each cylinder, manifold or valve with its drawing revision, bill of parts and test pressure.

Tube, rod and bar lots

Book honed tube, ground rod and bar by lot and certificate, and tie them to serials.

Honing and lapping readings

Save bore size, roundness, finish and spool clearance per unit, and hold any part outside limits.

Rod plating returns

Count rods and parts sent for chrome plating, with thickness readings and lot numbers on return.

Seal kit control

Match kits to bore, rod and temperature, issue them to serials and record the kit fitted.

Bench test and cleanliness

Record proof pressure, leakage and particle count per serial, and route failures to rework and reflush.

Serial build history

Keep each serial’s parts, readings and test result so repairs and spares start from the original build.

Repair and reseal jobs

Open a repair against the returned serial, list parts replaced and repeat the test before dispatch.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Estimate/Quotation Management

    A cylinder or block is priced from tube and rod stock, honing, plating, seal kit and test time, and buyer revisions are kept.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Each serial keeps its tube, rod and seal kit lots with its bench result, so a reseal order opens the original build.

  • Bill of Materials

    A cylinder lists its tube, rod, piston, gland, seals and ends, so assembly draws the right parts for the bore size.

  • Quality Control

    Proof pressure, leakage and particle count are saved per serial, and a unit that fails is held for rework and reflush.

  • Job Work Management

    Rods sent for hard chrome are counted out on a slip and checked on return against thickness readings and lot numbers.

  • Service Reports and Proof of Visit

    A returned cylinder is opened against its serial, and the parts replaced and the repeat test are written to the same history.

  • Goods Receipt (GRN)

    Honed tube and ground rod are counted against the purchase order and their certificates booked before they enter the machining queue.

Services

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Unit types

Cylinder, block and valve fields are set the way your buyers specify them.

Test sheets

Your own limits for proof pressure, leakage and particle count go onto the sheet, in the layout your buyers expect.

Seal kit list

Kits are loaded by bore, rod and temperature, so selection follows your catalogue.

Plating routes

Chrome plating and painting steps are set as outside processes with the suppliers you use.

Currency and tax

Machine builders abroad receive quotations in their currency with tax settings that are reviewed during implementation.

Hosting and edits

GullySystem hosts the system and changes forms and routes when you ask.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

How is a cylinder tied to its tube and rod?

The serial names the tube lot, the rod lot and the seal kit fitted. Opening the serial shows all three with their certificates.

What is saved at the test bench?

Proof pressure, hold time, leakage and particle count are entered per serial. Failed units go back for rework and are retested on the same record.

Can repairs reuse the original record?

Yes. A returned unit is found by serial, its original parts are shown, and the repair lists what was changed.

How are rods sent for chrome plating handled?

A plating load lists rods and counts. The return is checked against it, with thickness and lot number attached.

Can we store spool and bore clearances?

Yes. Readings from honing and lapping are entered against each unit, and a clearance outside the drawing holds the part.

Does it work for custom, one-off blocks?

Yes. A one-off is registered as a new drawing with its own parts list, then follows the same serial and test path.

What decides the quotation?

Cost follows the test benches you run, the unit families on your floor and how many people log in. You see your own valve blocks and cylinders on screen first, and only then is a written figure sent.

Can older serial records be loaded?

Past serials, customers and test sheets can be imported from your files. A sample load is checked with you before the full import.

Who changes the test sheet layout?

GullySystem staff update it on request. Earlier serials keep the layout they were tested on.
