Amatrol’s Measurement Tools 1 Learning System (950-MES1) teaches learners the fundamental principles of measurement, including basic and precision measurement and direct and indirect gauging. The concepts and skills covered in Amatrol’s in-depth curriculum are critical and used in every manufacturing plant in the world by inspectors, machinists, manufacturing engineers, and others to determine if parts meet quality standards. After all, the ability to produce quality products begins with determining whether a product meets specified dimensions.
Using Amatrol’s comprehensive multimedia curriculum, learners will study a variety of measurement topics, including: digital and dial calipers; dimensional gauging; statistical process control; control chart operation and analysis; geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; and location, orientation, and form tolerances. The measurement tools training system also includes industrial-quality components, such as a tabletop workstation, measurement tools like digital and dial calipers, variable length shafts and diameter disks, and more! The combination of robust curriculum with real-world equipment gives learners practical, hands-on experience with instruments they’ll encounter on the job.
Amatrol's Measurement Tools 3 Learning System (96-MES3) teaches the high demand skills of conventional and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, a key component of quality assurance. General Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) techniques are common practice offered by the 96-MES3 will provide learners with marketable skills. The 96-MES3 covers basic GD&T information and skills before focusing on three main areas: location tolerances, orientation tolerances, and form tolerances.
Amatrol's Machine Tools 1 Learning System (96-MP1) is a comprehensive resource that explores the uses and functionality of two essential manufacturing tools: the band saw and the drill press. Through this system, learners engage in safe practices for cutting raw materials precisely and creating various hole types, such as countersink, counterbore, reamed, and tapped, crucial for manufacturing applications. Understanding the applications and safe operation of the drill press and band saw is vital for anyone entering the workforce in manufacturing.
This learning system encompasses multimedia curriculum materials, an instructor's guide, installation guide, and a student reference guide. Schools have the option to use their own equipment or acquire Amatrol's Manual Machine Tool Package, which includes essential tools like a band saw, drill press, bench vise, and belt sander. These components, combined with the multimedia curriculum, cover essential topics like stock selection, band saw components, drill press tooling, and tapping and chamfering techniques. Developed as part of Amatrol's Project Based Learning initiative, this system not only imparts technical knowledge but also fosters problem-solving, teamwork, and STEM skills. It serves as a strong foundation for careers in engineering, manufacturing, and related fields or can function as a standalone educational tool.
Amatrol's Machine Tools 2 Learning System (96-MP2) begins by explaining how to use basic hand tools, like a hacksaw and a file, and then focusses on manual milling machine operation and its real-world applications. The milling machine is a flexible and widely-used piece of industrial equipment that is utilized extensively in machine shops and maintenance departments. This learning system requires Amatrol's Machine Tools 1 Learning System, a manual milling machine with tooling and raw materials.
Amatrol's Machine Tools 3 Learning System (96-MP3) focuses on the components, function and operation of the manual lathe. The lathe is a machine tool used for machining round parts and is found in almost all manufacturing facilities and machine shops. Machine Tools 3 requires the Machine Tools 1 Learning System (96-MP1), a computer, and a customer-supplied manual lathe.
Mechanical fabrication plays an important role in today’s economy as the cost to produce goods increases and the profit margins shrink. To stay competitive, companies must manufacture high quality goods. In our information based world, learners increasingly do not have knowledge or skills for mechanical fabrication. Amatrol’s Mechanical Fabrication 1 Learning System (96-MPF1) focuses on the safe application of basic hand tools used in assembly.
The Mechanical Fabrication training system includes real-world hand tools and associated components such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and sockets for hands-on skill-building. Learners will gain hand tools training and basic assembly skills training by practicing skills like: inspecting and installing a threaded fastener; using fixed, adjustable, Allen, and ratchet wrenches to tighten threaded fasteners; and installing pipe thread and straight thread pneumatic fittings. This hand tools training system also includes interactive multimedia curriculum, an instructor’s assessment guide, an installation guide, and a student reference guide. Amatrol combines equipment, strong print-based curriculum, and interactive multimedia so that learners can study and practice mechanical fabrication skills in the style that they need.
TECHNICAL TRAINING FOR AGRICULTURE
When it comes to industries, agriculture can stake its claim to being one of the oldest industries in the world with a history that stretches back over 12,000 years. What began with small groups of people in different parts of the world figuring out how to domesticate animals and grow their own food has become a multi-trillion-dollar industry that connects nations across the globe.
Sparked by a series of industrial revolutions, major changes have taken place throughout industry over the last couple of centuries. These same changes have shaped agriculture over the years. Manual processes and hand tools were replaced with machines. Technological advances, including computers and the Internet, have made agricultural machines and processes more productive and efficient.
As technology continues to advance, agriculture must keep evolving to ensure that productivity keeps pace with an ever-expanding world population. In fact, today’s agricultural experts need experience with more types of technology than ever before.
