HYD Training Part 1:
Training segment 1 begins with the basics of fluid dynamics. Your students,
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.
HYD Training Part 4: Part 4 provides an in depth examination of hydraulic motors, accumulators
and intensifiers. Your students, or employees will learn the differences between spring loaded, various
gas charged and weight loaded accumulator devices. Safety dump circuits for the accumulator are also
covered in this portion of your hydraulic training.
HYD Training Part 5: During this training session your employees, or students will examine flow
control and pressure sensitive devices in greater detail. They will also learn about air cooled and
water cooled heat exchangers. Testing the heat exchanger for internal leaks is also covered in part 5.

HYD Training Part 6: Part 6 concentrates on hydraulic servo valve operation. Single spool, master-slave and proportional valves are all covered in this training segment. The purpose of the LVDT is also discussed in part 6. This training segment provides a very good understanding of hydraulic servo valve operation.
HYD Training Part 7: Training session 7 begins to apply all the
knowledge your employees, or students have gained in the first 6 training
sessions by illustrating hydraulic prints with the valves shifting position,
cylinders extending and retracting, pressure relief valves operating, flow
controls restricting flow and check valves opening and closing under pressure.
Learning to read a hydraulic print has never been easier.
HYD Training Part 8: The final training session covers basic hydraulic troubleshooting techniques,
fault analysis, common hydraulic system failures and preventative maintenance procedures which can
be implemented to extent the life of almost any piece of hydraulic equipment.

PLC Training Part 1: The PLC training program begins by comparing
the operation of relay circuitry to that of the PLC system. Understanding
these similarities will make learning the PLC system much faster and easier.
The student will learn the sequence of events which must take place in any
automated piece of equipment. They are also introduced to the three
sections of every PLC control system.
PLC Training Part 2: In part 2 of the PLC program your students will be introduced to the operating
principles involved with the input, output and logic sections of the PLC system. Then they will begin their
understanding of basic PLC logic instructions. They will learn about the examine ON, examine OFF and output
instruction bits. Next, they will begin to apply these PLC instruction bits to actual PLC ladder diagrams.
Common addressing techniques are also covered in part 2.
PLC Training Part 3: In the third training session your students will gain an in depth understanding
of the operating principles involved with the input, output and logic sections of the PLC system. Analog,
digital and discrete modules are covered. Part 3 also provides vital information on common power
supply problems.
PLC Training Part 4: In the fourth training session your students
will learn proper programming techniques. They will learn how to enter,
edit, add or delete program instruction bits. The scanning sequence
involved in examining the condition of the input field devices,
comparing the program to the condition of the input devices and updating
the output ports is all covered in part 4. Also covered are immediate
update instructions and PLC counter instructions in block format.
PLC Training Part 5: Part 5 continues with PLC programming
instruction bits. Your students will learn how rung format counters
function, block and rung format timer instructions function, latch-
unlatch instructions, math instructions, comparison instructions and
many more pieces of useful information. Our goal is to make your
people understand how each of these instruction bits effect the total
operation of the PLC system.
PLC Training Part 6: In part 6 your students will learn about move
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.
PLC Training Part 8: In the final training session
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.

Relay Training Part 1: Day 1 begins with a pretest.
After the pretest, the students examine basic electrical
components like the 3-phase disconnect and circuit breaker.
They will also examine fuse classifications, overload
heaters, control transformers, push button switches, relays
and motors. In the first day they will also learn about
single phasing and reversing 3-phase motor rotation.
Relay Training Part 2: Training session 2 continues with electrical
component operation. In part 2 they will learn about latch relays, lamps,
limit, pressure, flow, thermal, foot, proximity, float, key, rotary,
multi-stage, push-to-test and maintained push button switches. Also covered
