  or employees will learn how power can be transmitted through fluid. Part 1 
  then continues into an examination of 2 way valves, 3 way valves, check 
  valves and pressure relief valves. They will see how these devices actually
  function and how they are implemented in an actual circuit design. Prior
  experience or training is not a requirement for this training program.  
  However, those with prior experience or training will gain a deeper 
  understanding of hydraulic system operation.

     

  HYD Training Part 2: In part 2, your employees or students will examine linear and rotary 
  actuators. Double action, double rod, ram, telescoping, tandem and duplex cylinder operations are 
  all covered in this easy to learn training video. Rotary devices like rack-and-pinion, rotary vane
  and rotary cylinder actuators are also illustrated in detail.  In four short hours your students 
  will learn more than most people learn in a week. 

  HYD Training Part 3:  In the third training session your employees, or students will examine
  common hydraulic pumps like the balanced vane, unbalanced vane, gear, axial piston and radial piston
  hydraulic pump configurations.  Part 3 also covers different types of filters and the purpose for 
  using a reservoir.

  instructions, the binary numbering system, decimal numbering system, how to 
  count in octal, hexadecimal and BCD digital formats.  They will also learn 
  how to easily convert from one format to another.  Since PLC systems are 
  digital in design, this training is vital.

  PLC Training Part 7:  Here your students learn how the PLC can be
  used to monitor and control a servo valve or servo motor.  Part 7 examines
  the characteristics of the analog signal and digital signal.  It then 
  progresses into basic open loop and closed loop servo control systems. In 
  this training segment your students will also learn proper preventative 
  maintenance procedures for the PLC system, how to read and understand flow 
  charts, error codes and fault registers.  Basic troubleshooting procedures 
  are also covered in this portion of the PLC training.

  your students will learn how to systematically localize faults
  to either the input, output or logic section of the PLC controller.
  They will learn how to troubleshoot with, or without the use
  of the program monitor.  Part 8 concludes with basic Safety
  procedures when working on PLC systems plus an over view of
  the material covered in the previous 7 sessions.
