MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Machine Tool Technology

Metallurgy
Metallurgy covers all aspects of metallurgical engineering, which include the three areas of extractive, mechanical, and physical metallurgy. The steelmaking process, properties of ferrous and nonferrous metals and identification, heat treating of steels are all discussed, along with coding methods and the identity of space age alloys.

Metrology
The use, reading and care for measuring devices are important in almost all inspection and manufacturing settings. Knowledge in metrology enables the safe and proper care for such devices, ensuring accuracy of equipment and a longer life cycle. The ability to interpret and record linear, micrometer, vernier, dial indicator, fixed gage, surface plate as well as Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), and Optical Comparators are expected outcomes.

Geometric Dimension & Tolerancing
Geometric Dimension and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a method for stating and interpreting design requirements. As an international system of symbolic language, it is a valuable tool in making engineering drawings a better means of communication from design through manufacturing and inspection. The training begins with basic principles and builds on these principles with applications-oriented concepts, presenting complex material in a “building-block” fashion.

Electrical

Journeyman & Master Electrician Examination Preparation
This course prepares participants for electrician licensing examinations. Topics include grounding, calculations for services, and branch, motor and transformer circuits. Includes test-taking strategies and sample exams.

National Electric Code and ARC Flash (NFPA7OE)
This course is a survey of guidelines and regulations concerning installation or revision of electrical power distribution. Includes electrical controls and protection.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
There are several levels of PLC training available. The initial course provides a basic understanding of PLC structure, programming and the various output methods. It is intended for an individual that has little or no knowledge of PLCs. Advanced courses explain more complex instructions, programming methods and advanced PLCs. We also have PLC mobile instructional training labs that allow for on-site delivery of any course.

Electrical Troubleshooting
This course teaches participants a systematic, logical method of electrical troubleshooting is taught. Students apply these principles on motor control circuits with hands-on exercises. Includes discussion of methods and types of maintenance procedures.

Electrical Print Reading
This course is intended for maintenance personnel just entering the electrical field. Electrical symbols, various types of electrical prints and the logic of electrical control are covered. Additionally, electrical practices and the requirements of the National Electric Code are emphasized as related to commercial or industrial sites.

Electrical Apprentice Training
This training will take employees through the basic concepts needed to complete an electrical apprenticeship. Technical mathematics, physics, electrical principles and motor controls are some of the courses that can be incorporated. Frequency of classes and specific course content can be tailored to the employer’s needs.

Motor Controls
Students will become familiar with the concepts of electrical motor control circuits. Electromechanical relays, interpreting symbols and drawings, motor starters, timing devices and the logic of control circuits will be emphasized. Students will build numerous electrical circuits from electrical prints.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)
This class explains the installation, maintenance and operation of variable frequency drives.

Mechanical

Industrial maintenance
This customizable on-site or laboratory training can over the fundamentals of the care and maintenance of a wide range of industrial equipment, including chain and gear drives, couplings and fluid power equipment, lubricants/lubrication, replacement of seals and bearings.

Hydraulics/Pneumatics
Fluid power principles are explained in a high-tech lab and students have hands-on time to better understand concepts. Includes basic principles, symbols, interpretation of prints, components, compressors and piping layouts.

Welding
We can provide training in various welding techniques, including Arc, MIG, TIG, and pipe, as well as plasma and oxy-acetylene gas cutting.

CAD/CAM System Solutions
We can provide training in AutoCAD, Inventor, REVIT, Electrical, Max, Solidworks, Mastercam and other systems.

Soldering
Whether your employees need training on Surface Mount Technology (SMT), plated through-hole, or lead-free soldering, we can customize a training to fit your needs, including certification training for all skill levels from beginners to advanced. Our consultants have worked in the industry and are certified to train and certify others in both IPC-610 and the J-STD-001.
