®HyDraw

Get your designs approved faster and easier, ensuring your systems are correctly commissioned and maintained. Use HyDraw to create professional and accurate hydraulic circuits, parts lists, and quotations.

Drag-and-drop 'smart' symbols into a drawing with point-and-click component selection. The 'smart' connection lines snap to ports and self-route with jumpers.

Auto BOM generation ensures accuracy of your Bill of Materials. Easily insert it into the circuit drawing, or export it to Microsoft Excel.

Get started with over 3,000 ISO 1219-1 compliant symbols covering both industrial and mobile hydraulics. 'Remember' your data and rules using HyDraw's custom database. Ensure up-to-date pricing of components by Linking your ERP data to HyDraw.

HyDraw works seamlessly within Microsoft Visio. Circuit design data can be easily ported to downstream manifold design and CAM systems.

HyDraw can access manufacturer component data from FluidPowerTools.com, a fee based service from VEST. Also, submit your circuit to QuickManifolds.com for 'instant' manifold design.

Use HyDraw and ensure your competitive edge.

®MDTools

Vivid 3D color coded visualization and automated design and documentation tools enable fast and stress-free manifold design. Use MDTools "fun-to-design" environment and easily create error-free manifold blocks, p r o f e s s i o n a l l y d r a w n a n d a u t o dimensioned with bore chart.

Jumpstart your design using the inbuilt LAN enabled tooling knowledge database, materials database, and extensive OEM specific cavity libraries for both cartridge and interface valves. Also, easily import your HyDraw drawn schematic design into MDTools, saving time and ensuring accuracy.

MDTools' cut-and-paste, drag-and-drop technology is easy to learn and simple to use. Easy connections with powerful wall thickness and manufacturability checks trap design errors, while automated drawing commands create complex drill charts in seconds.

MDTools works seamlessly within Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks.

MDTools is now used in 23 countries and has been adopted by companies like Parker Hannifin, Bosch Rexroth, Hydac, and Eaton.

Double your productivity with MDTools, and consistently deliver error free manifold block designs.

®CAMit

Program your CNC machine in minutes to machine your large and complex manifold blocks. What took you days, is now easily accomplished in minutes with CAMit!

CAMit reads the geometry from an MDTools designed manifold, combines it with your company's standard machining processes for each hole type, creates a process plan, and imports the process plan into Mastercam for easy generation of CNC code.

A manufacturing process strategy database and engine power CAMit, where you can define your preferred tooling and processes for different materials for each hole type. Speeds, Feeds, Dwells, and other machining data is picked up automatically by CAMit to combine with the design parameters.

CAMit intelligently selects tooling for a job to minimize tool change and creates tool paths to minimize tool travel.

The process plan created by CAMit is editable by an experienced machinist, allowing him to superimpose his experience and judgement.

CAMit automates multi-face machining.

CAMit is flexible and can be customized to suit your specific machining practices. Use CAMit and improve response time.

Access design and engineering data on demand from FluidPowerTools.com. Import select model data for Parker, Eaton, Rexroth, Hydac, Danfoss, SUN, HydraForce, and more.. directly into your HyDraw circuit design software.

FluidPowerTools.com free and fee based services help designers using HyDraw select and size valves, pumps and other hydraulic components, look up technical information, and populate a Bill of Material.

This hydraulic and pneumatic data and utility web portal centralizes and distributes data for circuit design and system CAD modeling.

FluidPowerTools.com also delivers free cavity data for manifold design, and limited free libraries of CAD models of some hydraulic components.

Use FLUIDPOWERTools.com and gain ready access to OEM specific design engineering data.

Designs manifolds super fast (in minutes!) with no CAD system and ®no human interaction. QuickManifolds is a web based manifold

TMdesign service powered by VEST patented AutoRouter technology, which mimics the labor of a human manifold designer.

The designs produced can be machined directly, or the designs can be read into VEST MDTools for tweaking by an experienced designer.

QuickManifolds service ties a select set of manifold suppliers who deliver automated immediate quotes for manifolds based on the customer's given HyDraw circuit.

Vendors participating in VEST's hardware partner program use MDTools and CAMit technology for rapid turn-around on orders.

Slash your design time by 90%, delivery time by 50%, and design costs by 60%, using the QuickManifolds.com automated design and quick hardware delivery service.
