Industrial Training Aids

To support instructor-led, hands-on learning for operations and maintenance (O&M) professionals, we design and craft a range of industrial-grade training equipment so learners can practice critical skills in realistic simulations using real-world hardware.

You can deploy these workstations in the way that best suits your organization:

• We can ship our equipment to your locations and facilitate training with our instructors and courses.
• You can commission your own training stations. We’ll produce our designs or collaborate with you on a custom design that best reflects your work environment.
• We can train your personnel to deliver instructor-led learning to your teams, using our training stations or your own equipment.

Our craft skills workstations reinforce the diverse skill sets that operators and technicians use daily across various industries.

We designed this station to introduce maintenance personnel to the fundamentals of relay-based motor control, PLC-based motor control, and troubleshooting. The hardware in this cabinet includes industry standard equipment that maintenance workers operate and repair daily.

The system allows for the construction of motor control circuits as found in working facilities. Starting with relay-based motor control, learners explore the fundamentals of circuit design, operation, and troubleshooting. All training station components can be faulted so instructors can present realistic scenarios in a lab environment.

Using the same workstation, learners advance to PLC-based controls to expand their practical knowledge in building, programming, testing, maintaining, and troubleshooting. The double-sided design of the station—all powered from a single 110-volt source—allows multiple learners to perform tasks at the same time.

Produced to highlight the fundamentals of process instrumentation and process controls, this station features a process system that uses water to maintain either a tank level or a flow rate based on the instrumentation being employed. It’s used to demonstrate fundamentals emphasizing proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) action using an industrial-rated human-machine interface (HMI) and PLC.

Learners manipulate a pneumatic control valve via the controller to maintain the system’s process variable within required control bands. The pump is controlled through a variable frequency drive that communicates with the HMI and PLC to offer PID control through frequency control—not pneumatic control—of the valve.

This training station features highway addressable remote transducer (HART)-compatible single modular auto-ranging remote transducer transmitters (SMART), ensuring industry standards are maintained.

This station is a portable pneumatics training system on which learners can design, build, and troubleshoot basic and advanced pneumatic circuits in a safe environment. Various pneumatic components are integrated, including:

• Pneumatic push buttons
• Solenoid-controlled push buttons
• Various regulators
• Cylinders
• Switches
• Gauges

Using an optional built-in PLC, learners can maintain pneumatics that are monitored by computer systems.

This station provides hands-on training for mechanical skills using a functioning industry-standard pump, motor, and coupling system. With this station, learners gain practical experience with precision alignment of powertrains, pump rebuild and repair, pump mechanical seals, and more.

It’s configurable for different alignment methods, such as:

• Direct shaft coupling
• Belt drive coupling
• Chain drive coupling

As a complete standalone training solution for power transmission and shaft alignment courses, the station integrates a functioning water flow system to demonstrate fluid flow basics for pump operations. It also includes all the tools, equipment, and drive components needed to perform precision alignments of power transmission systems.

This portable system gives learners the opportunity to safely disassemble, inspect, and reassemble basic valves and troubleshoot common problems. The station is composed of valves, such as:

• Globe valves
• Gate valves
• Globe valve with Fisher pneumatic operator
• Safety valves
• Limitorque operator

Learners can make live adjustments on the pneumatic operator and the Limitorque operator.

This portable hydraulics training system allows learners to design, build, troubleshoot, and maintain basic and advanced hydraulics circuits in a safe environment. The station is composed of various hydraulic components, such as:

• Solenoid-controlled directional valves
• Proportional-controlled directional valves
• Regulators
• Cylinders
• Limit switches
• Gauges
• Hydraulic motor

Featuring an optional built-in PLC, the trainer enables learners to work with equipment controlled by automated systems.

Learners use this station to lockout/tagout (LOTO) basic hydraulic and electrical circuits in a controlled setting. The station is composed with:

• Valves
• Hydraulic circuits
• Power panels
• Fuse boxes

Learners can isolate different circuits as directed and practice system isolation from sources both hydraulic and electric.tions forward.
