1 HANDS-ON INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FLUID SENSORS SIMULATION SOFTWARE E-LEARNING CERTIFICATION PREPARATION

2 Innovative Design Offers Exceptional Options Lab-Volt offers the most comprehensive and flexible course in fluid power available. Lab-Volt s premier training system for fluid power technology consists of two programs: the Hydraulics Training System, Model 6080, and the Pneumatics Training System, Model Both are innovative, modular systems that use state-of-the-art hardware and courseware to deliver job training in fluid power. The entire fluid power series has been designed for educational growth. Using either the Hydraulics or the Pneumatics Training System, students gain a solid foundation in, and hands-on experience with, fluid power components and circuits, the principles and concepts underlying fluid power systems and applications, and methods of troubleshooting and testing fluid systems. Each lesson builds upon previous lessons, making this an ideal job-training program. Engineered for extreme ease of use, the core system begins with a work surface assembly consisting of a solid metal, universal drip-tray hinged to a perforated, tiltable work surface that serves as a panel onto which hydraulics or pneumatics components are mounted. By adding optional expansion panels, the work surface can be configured to accommodate a wide variety of space and teaching needs. Mounting and dismounting components is easy with push-lock fasteners that snap easily into the perforations on the work surface. The tilting work surface facilitates instructor demonstration to an entire class. 2

3 Ideal for Training Centers Tight on Budget and Space The basic Lab-Volt Hydraulics Training System consists of a power unit, work surface assembly, industrial-grade components, hoses, a hose rack, metering instruments and related courseware. The basic Pneumatics Training System consists of a work surface assembly, pneumatic components, measuring instruments and necessary pneumatic accessories to perform experiments. All components in both systems exceed industrial safety standards. Hydraulic connections are made through double-check valve quick-disconnect fittings. Optional equipment includes a mobile support bench with expandable storage shelves, lockable dress panels and additional expansion panels. Table-top work surface and Hydraulics Fundamentals components (Model ) Table-top work surface and Pneumatics Fundamentals components (Model ) Operating on a standard electrical supply, the Hydraulics system requires no special wiring. The power unit is designed to match components with training needs. The pump (3.0 l/min, 0.8 U.S. gal/min) delivers flow to components at a rate that allows for observation and is powerful enough to provide pressures in excess of 6200 kpa or 900 psi. The scope of the entire Lab-Volt Fluid Power product line addresses the diverse needs of secondary and postsecondary technology programs. The interfacing of electronics, sensors, robots and controls makes the Lab-Volt program an ideal cornerstone of any job-training program in Mechatronics, Electromechanical Systems or Automation. 3

4 Models , 6080-A and 6080-B The Lab-Volt Hydraulics Training System begins with Hydraulics Fundamentals, the first in a series of five subsystems that take students from basic to advanced training in industry-standard hydraulic applications. The standard modular system consists of a perforated work surface, components for the Hydraulics Fundamentals course, a drip tray attached at the bottom of the work surface, a hose rack with hydraulic hoses, and a power supply unit in a mobile frame. The work surface and components (Model ) can be placed on a table, on an optional workbench containing sliding channels for storing additional work surfaces (Model 6080-A), or a lockable, paneled bench (Model 6080-B).

Additional work surfaces and components are optional. See Page 10 for additional work bench options. Model Electrical Control of Hydraulic Systems introduces students to electrical concepts and electrically controlled hydraulic systems. Through hands-on experimentation, students gain familiarity with functional and industrial electrically controlled hydraulic systems while learning systematic methods of troubleshooting and testing electrically controlled hydraulic systems. This module requires the same perforated work surface, drip tray, hose rack and hoses, and power supply unit that are used with the Hydraulics Fundamentals system. FEATURES Seamless integration with Hydraulics Fundamentals System Prepares students for jobs and advanced education in state-of-the-art fluid power applications Provides add-on capabilities for PLC operations, Servo/Proportional Control and Sensors Integrates with Electrical Control of Pneumatics Systems 4

The Lab-Volt Hydraulics training systems, Models /2, also are available as an LVSIM program. Computer-screen images represent the standard laboratory equipment and fully simulate the mechanical characteristics of the actual hydraulic module. Using the mouse, students can select and set up virtual equipment for a given exercise, make the necessary connections between the simulated modules and obtain the same results as with the real equipment. Used either as a complement to the actual laboratory equipment or as a stand-alone product, LVSIM is a cost-effective tool that enables students to safely and accurately perform experiments and become familiar with the equipment configuration and laboratory setup before entering the lab. As a result, their time spent in duplicating hands-on tasks in the actual laboratory may be reduced by as much as 50%, resulting in the need for less physical hardware per student. In addition, students can install a limited version of the LVSIM software into their own computers, and practice and prepare in advance for their lab exercises. Sample screens from the LVSIM-HYD show simulations of the Hydraulics Training System. Using virtual components, meters, gauges and hoses, students can perform the same experiments and derive the same results as they would with actual laboratory equipment. 5

6 Model The Servo/Proportional Control module is an addon to the Electrical Control system for the Hydraulics Training System. Through hands-on operation of signal conditioners; pressure, speed, and position transducers; P.I.D. controllers; proportional control valves; and corresponding interface hardware and courseware, students are trained in the precise controls used in industrial applications such as robotics, aviation, CNC machines, marine, mobile equipment and material handling.

8 Virtual Laboratory Equipment for Pneumatics Similar to LVSIM-HYD, this simulation software program provides fast and effective training. By gaining familiarity with equipment prior to entering the actual laboratory, either in the classroom or on their own computers at home, students may spend significantly less time (a reduction of up to 50%) using the actual equipment. In addition, each student would require less physical hardware, so the training system is cost-effective, as well. The Lab-Volt Pneumatics training system, Models /2, also are available as an LVSIM program. LVSIM-PNEU can be used as a stand-alone product or as a complement to the actual laboratory equipment. In addition, it can be loaded together with LVSIM-HYD. This allows students to view and work with virtual components for both hydraulics and pneumatics at the same time. The sample screens from LVSIM- PNEU show simulations of the Pneumatics Training System. Using virtual components, meters, gauges, and hoses, students can perform the same experiments and derive the same results as they would with actual laboratory equipment. Model The Servo-Proportional Control module supplements training in Electrical Control of Pneumatic Systems. Students gain hands-on experience in operating a complete range of pneumatic equipment, including: Signal conditioners Pressure, speed and position transducers P.I.D. controllers Proportional control valves Corresponding interface hardware and courseware This training enables students to operate precise controls in a broad range of industrial applications, including robotics, aviation, CNC machines, marine, mobile equipment and material handling.
