Fluid technology

Fluid technology is a core element of drive technology in industrial production systems. As an automation specialist, Festo Didactic offers training packages for various applications and for every level. Coordinated hardware, software and workbooks together form a holistic learning experience. The packages build on each other in a modular fashion, resulting in logical learning paths for learning the technical basics.

The didactic concept of complete action - Our pedagogical concept for training packages

We offer technical education according to the complete action model.

Education and training institutions are faced with the challenge of providing graduates who are sought after by the local economy. Companies are looking for well-trained and responsible employees with a high level of competence.

Festo Didactic's training packages are tailored to this objective.

Inform

  • Reading the problem definition in the workbook
  • Understanding the work assignment
  • Acquiring missing knowledge

Planning

  • Designing a circuit with FluidSIM
  • Derive a circuit diagram with parts list

Implementing

  • Set up and commission the circuit on a workstation system with the training packages
  • Simplified, accessible and convenient

Checking

  • Comparison of target and actual status and targeted troubleshooting, e.g. with components from measurement technology

Reflect and document

  • Evaluation of the result, optimization and professional documentation with the worksheets in the workbook and FluidSIM CAD drawings

Training package TP 260 - Digitalization in fluid technology

Digitalization is changing technology and placing new demands on the knowledge and skills of traditional professions, e.g. industrial mechanics. The expansion of the training packages for pneumatics and hydraulics with sensors, control systems and network technology makes it possible to get to know the topics of digitalization step by step and to use them effectively in the profession.

Sensors collect data from the production process

  • Controllers process the data and forward it
  • Data is collected and evaluated
  • Warnings and errors are transmitted to mobile devices
  • Predictive maintenance avoids downtimes
  • Maintenance staff are supported by mobile devices with instructions for troubleshooting and fault rectification

Training package TP 660 - Digitalization in hydraulics

The TP 660 equipment set is designed to provide training that offers an introduction to digitalization in hydraulics and demonstrates the potential of digitalization in a hydraulic application. The components are selected in such a way that they can be used to implement record production in a pressing machine and upgrade measures in the field of digitization to enable human-machine communication. The equipment set TP 660 is an advanced level of the equipment set TP 601 Electrohydraulics, basic level. Both equipment sets are required to complete all the tasks in the Digitalization in hydraulics course.
