Thomas offers his insight into the best practices to follow when creating these tools to deliver the highest quality output with the lowest possible resource expenditure.
FUEL CELL AS AN ALTERNATIVE DRIVE CONCEPT (UNITRAIN)
The concept of using fuel cells in a vehicle is an alternative to the use of purely electrical vehicles with range extenders. It should be noted that a fuel cell powered vehicle is not considered to be a hybrid system. A fuel cell is merely an energy converter which can also store electrical energy. The idea nevertheless represents a promising alternative since the relatively long range it offers is an impressive factor.
Whether you’re an instructor teaching the next generation of industrial maintenance technicians or an employer trying to hire new mechanical maintenance workers, the same question needs to be asked of potential new hires: do they have the skills you need? Amatrol’s Mechanical Drives 1 Assessment Workstation (27-MEA1) allows individuals to be evaluated on a variety of hands-on mechanical maintenance skills.
Amatrol’s Pneumatics 1 Assessment Workstation (27-PNA1) features a compact workstation designed to effectively assess hands-on pneumatics skills with a variety of industry-standard components. Amatrol’s Pneumatics 1 Assessment Workstation (27-PNA1) allows individuals to be evaluated on a variety of hands-on maintenance skills related to pneumatics.
Amatrol’s Portable Pneumatics Learning System (990-PN1) is designed to teach fundamental and advanced pneumatic principles. Pneumatic power forms the basis of numerous industrial applications spanning fields like agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and automation. Through hands-on practice, learners will master the operation of pneumatic cylinders, flow controls, directional control valves, air motors, and pressure gauges. This system requires a compressed air source, a Hand Tool Package (41221), and a computer.
This robust and portable training system features authentic pneumatic components such as rotameters, pressure gauges, flow control valves, and directional control valves. Users will use the included pneumatic hoses to build operational pneumatic circuits based on schematics, honing skills like flowmeter connection and cam-operated sequence circuit operation. Amatrol’s attention to quality ensures learners engage with components relevant to real-world job scenarios.
Amatrol’s Advanced Hydraulics Training System (85-AH) covers hydraulic motor training applications, hydraulic pump and motor performance, and hydraulic fluids and conditioning. Within this advanced hydraulics training system, learners will study how motors are stopped hydraulically, how to use a pump efficiency curve to determine overall efficiency, how to size a conductor, how seal materials are determined by hydraulic fluid type, and more!
The advanced hydraulic training system requires Amatrol’s Intermediate Hydraulics (85-IH) and one of the Basic Hydraulics systems (850-H1, 850-C1, or 85-BH).
Double Sided A-Frame Bench
Amatrol’s Basic Pneumatics Training System – Double Sided A-Frame Bench (850-PD1) features the Basic Pneumatics Learning System (85-BP) panels mounted on a sturdy, durable A-frame bench with plenty of room for expansion.
Another set of Basic Pneumatics panels can be mounted to the opposite side of the bench to double training capacity, or more advanced pneumatic concepts can be taught by adding Intermediate Pneumatics (85-IP), Advanced Pneumatics (85-AP), or Electro-Pneumatics (85-EP) systems.
Amatrol’s Advanced Pneumatics training system (85-AP) covers a diverse range of topics, such as how air bearings, pneumatic motors, and pneumatic cylinders are used to move loads; applications for vacuums such as food packaging, as well as how to measure vacuum levels; and a comprehensive look at air compressors, their components, and how to safely operate them. By taking the approach of melding theory and practice, Amatrol curriculum reinforces both, resulting in a learner that can calculate the theoretical lifting force of a vacuum cup and understand how to select the correct pneumatic motor for a specific task.
The 85-AP includes an orifice plate flow meter, quick exhaust valve, suction cup, vacuum generator, vacuum gauge, tubing kit, and weight set with various sizes. These industrial-grade components ensure that learners work with instruments they’d normally only see on the job, which helps them to gain confidence and experience. This commitment to providing real-world components is an example of the attention to quality and detail that’s made Amatrol the world’s leader in skills-based, interactive technical learning.
Because hydraulic power is used in everything from automotive brakes to industrial robots, the skills taught by Amatrol’s Basic Hydraulics Learning System (85-BH) can open the doors to careers in various fields, such as manufacturing, transportation, agricultural, and construction. Basic Hydraulics training introduces the fundamental hydraulic principles, such as pressure and flow, while simultaneously teaching industry-relevant hydraulic skills; this signature Amatrol approach to curriculum reinforces both theory and practice, which produces a well-rounded understanding of the topic. As an example, after completing this training system, learners will not only be able to basic hydraulic operation, installation, design, and troubleshooting for various applications, but also understand concepts like flow rate versus cylinder speed and pressure versus cylinder force.
Basic Hydraulic training includes gauges, manifolds, cylinders, valves (relief/sequence, pressure reducing, check, directional control), flow meter, and hydraulic motor. These components are all industrial quality to ensure durability and help learners become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job. All Amatrol products are made from top-notch materials and carefully crafted (hand-welded, painted, and silk-screened) to create tough, attractive, well designed industrial training systems that facilitate learning and will serve teachers and students for years.
