DAC Worldwide’s Basic Coupling/Shaft Alignment Trainer offers hands-on experience for the tasks users will encounter on the job.

Amatrol's hands-on training system features a portable setup for in-depth learning of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) operations and troubleshooting, specifically using the Allen-Bradley L16ER CompactLogix 5370 PLC, PanelView 800 HMI terminal, and networks. It covers programming, motor control, pneumatics, and more, with components such as an Allen-Bradley L16ER 5370 Processor & HMI Screen, pneumatic cylinders, control valves, potentiometer, variable speed drive, external I/O interface, temperature control, and an emergency stop button.

Additionally, the system can integrate with Industry 4.0 as a PLC training device and Tabletop Smart Factory cell controller, connecting physical systems and human assets for a fully-connected manufacturing experience. The FaultPro Technology allows users to implant 30+ faults for troubleshooting, enhancing practical skills in real-world scenarios. The interactive multimedia curriculum by Amatrol incorporates various learning methods and covers topics like PLC operation, Ethernet communication, motor control, timer instructions, event sequencing, counter instructions, HMI operation, and component/systems troubleshooting.

In this video, Stratasys' applications engineer demonstrates the process of loading and unloading material spools.

The design team at Labomed, one of the top 10 global medical device brands, uses two Stratasys FDM™ (Fused Deposition Modeling) F170 3D printers to produce prototypes for ophthalmology, gynecology, ENT, and more.

Watch the video to see how having 3D printers in-house helps the design team produce highly aesthetic, accurate products in less time.

  • BOFA Americas Laser Fume Extraction

    In the rare event that a burning ember or spark is drawn into the fume extraction unit, there is the possibility that debris in the filters could ignite. Although any resultant fire would typically be retained within the fume extraction unit, this would cause significant damage and in extreme circumstances, the risk may extend beyond the extraction unit. For processes where such risks have been identified, additional protection in the form of an in-line firebox is an additional precaution.

  • BOFA Advantage Range of Laser Fume Extractors

    The BOFA inline pre-filter 1000 has been designed specifically for applications that generate high amounts of dust or particulate.
