It also assesses the understanding of how power components and accessories are placed together to create circuits and systems for powering industrial machines. The major emphasis is on pneumatics with lesser emphasis on hydraulics and vacuum systems. Electro-fluid power troubleshooting is emphasized.
Topics include Circuits and logic, compressors and conditioners, connectors, directional control valves, electro-fluid power, filters, fittings, flow control & relief valves, gages and instruments, hoses, lubricators, metal tubing, motors, pressure sequence valves, pump and reservoir, regulators, safety, theory, threaded pipe, troubleshooting & testing, vacuum..
This certificate test is intended for entry-level mechanics, technicians and technologists who will be involved in the application, installation, modification or troubleshooting of Fluid Power systems..
This certificate covers safety practices for voltages up to 600 volts and knowledge of voltage, current and AC and DC circuits, circuit analysis of series and parallel loads, and basic understanding of resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
knowledge of electricity is needed to understand the operation of all type of commercial and equipment and to gain further knowledge of more complex packaging machines and systems..
This basic knowledge of electricity would be expected of entry level electrician working in facilities maintenance or assisting in the assembly, test, startup, troubleshooting, maintenance, repair or upgrade of basic packaging machinery modules..
Candidates should be familiar with the sizing and installation of various types of electrical conductors and raceways used in or around machinery and should be able to wire industrial control panel.
This certification exam builds upon the topics covered on Mechanical Components 1 test by evaluating the mastery of the principles and application of more complex mechanical components such as clutches, brakes, gear boxes, transmissions, ball screws, and linear components.
This certification is aimed at intermediate level technicians and technologists who may be involved in the assembly, test, startup, troubleshooting, maintenance, repair or upgrade of mechanically complex manufacturing machinery.
AC and DC electric motors are very commonly applied in virtually all industrial operations including packaging equipment, machine tools, and processing equipment and control of speed, torque and other parameters is growing in use, resulting in more motor drive systems..
