QuickManifolds.com™ QuickManifolds™ is a web based service, powered by the patented AutoRouter™
technology.*
It
designs hydraulic manifolds from schematics created in VEST's HyDraw® for Visio. The service is available at QuickManifolds.com,
which is owned, promoted and managed by VEST, Inc.
|
|
Scope of Schematics
|
|
|
Schematic will be limited to 12 screw-in cartridges, or 8-10
cartridges with up to a maximum of 2 D03/D05 interface. Orifices in a manifold are
treated as cartridges. |
|
Optimization of Design |
|
|
1. Goodness of design is offered as-is.
2. While QuickManifolds.com designs manifolds for minimal construction holes and
small block size, there is no pressure-drop
optimization in the design.
|
|
Correctness of Design |
|
|
1. The internal connections of the design are checked by QuickManifolds for correctness.
2. The internal design is based on a minimum wall-thickness specified by the Subscriber.
The Subscriber asumes responsibility for the
consequences of choosing a specific wall-thickness.
The Subscriber
understands that it is the Subscriber's responsibility to interpret
machine duty cycle, operating pressure,
material, and desired endurance life, etc., in order to request a minimum wall-thickness from
QuickManifolds designs.
3. The external geometry of the components assembled on the manifold are controlled
by input from the Subscriber. VEST is not liable for
errors resulting from incorrect Subscriber input.
4. Subscriber understands that QuickManifolds.com cannot check a circuit for its intended function. Errors in the circuit design will be
mirrored in the manifold design.
5. The Subscriber agrees that all hardware manufactured from designs produced through
QuickManifolds.com will be tested for safe
operation before being put into production.
6. In the event that a design is claimed to be incorrect, VEST's liability
is limited to refund a maximum of two times the cost of the design
claimed as incorrect, and additionally issue credit for a re-design.
VEST accepts no other liability and provides no other warranty.
7. Subscriber agrees to hold VEST, Inc harmless for any and all liabilities that
may arise in connection with this service.

Availability of Service |
|
|
1. It is understood that while VEST will make every effort to ensure that the service
is available at all times, there may be times when the
service is unavailable momentarily.
2. If the Subscriber wishes to cancel a particular design submission due to
unavailability of service, the charges for that design will be
reversed. |
|
Guarantee of Results |
|
|
Designs once submitted to QuickManifolds cannot be cancelled.
For schematics which have a large number of components and/or a large number of
connections, QuickManifolds may fail to deliver a result. No charge will appear
on Subscriber's account if QuickManifolds fails to design.
If the Subscriber believes that a design produced is unacceptable, then the Subscriber
must notify VEST within
3 business days of the design being created. Charges for
the design will be
reversed within additional 3 business days of such notification,
and the credit will appear in the Subscriber's account. |
