Each Basic Hydraulics training system features standard industrial grade components. This attention to quality gives students experience they would normally only get on-the-job by helping them recognize industrial components and how to troubleshoot them more effectively. Components included with Basic Hydraulics are pre-mounted on circuit panels with silk-screened labels next to each, which facilitates ease of use and identification.
In this episode, we're speaking with Shravya Nahar Product Manager at BOFA with specialist knowledge of additive manufacturing and extraction technology.
Shravya discusses the important interaction between temperature control and fume and particle extraction in additive manufacturing and how this need for extraction can be achieved while maintaining optimal chamber conditions.
Dawn Hartung, Strategic Account Manager at BOFA Americas, is joined by Jay Roberts, Product Manager for UV Printers at leading print technology company Roland to discuss some of the innovations that are helping to contribute to a more sustainable future in printing.
The refreshed BOFA 3D PrintPRO 4 provides a premium fume extraction solution for high-performing 3D printers. With a special blend of chemical adsorbents and high-efficiency particulate filter (HEPA), the extractor helps to filter emissions from 3D printing processes.
The BOFA 3D PrintPRO 3 incorporates externally mounted plenum system manifolds, which help to filter fumes generated during the printing process, helping you maintain a clean, healthy working environment.
It has the benefits of low cost, low power consumption and integral speed control. Each filtration unit is supplied with connection hoses and ‘print your own’ manifold instructions.
The BOFA 3D PrintPRO 2 is a low-cost unit, that helps to extract fumes generated by an open-framed 3D printer without causing the filament deposition area to be cooled.
It has the benefits of low noise levels and minimal power consumption. Each unit is supplied with a connection hose, ‘stay put’ arm and conical-shaped funnel.
Luke Ziolkowski, International Business Development Manager at BOFA, explains the differences between 3D printing and additive manufacturing. He dives into the challenges facing the 3D printing world and how BOFA technology is keeping pace with this fast-moving sector.
BOFA filtration and atmosphere management systems for additive manufacturing.
In this episode, Richard Heard, Technical Sales Manager at BOFA, guides us through the world of laser engraving and cutting.
From food to fashion, packaging and more, lasering is the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of industrial processes. In this latest episode of our Filtration Matters podcast, Geoff Sagar, a Product Manager at BOFA, highlights how the impact of laser technology grows wider and deeper across industry…and how fume extraction is helping enable a new era of productivity.
Dawn Hartung, Strategic Account Manager for BOFA Americas, discusses how continued growth in 3D print markets is driving the development of new functional materials designed for specific applications and products.

Item Number:85-BPAmatrol’s Basic Pneumatics training system (85-BP) introduces pneumatic principles through a combination of Amatrol’s top-flight multimedia curriculum with hands-on industrial pneumatic skill-building. Topics covered in this learning system include single-acting cylinder circuits, pressure vs. cylinder force, and flow control valves, while the panels can be used to practice skills such as connecting and operating a needle valve to control actuator speed. -
Item Number:85-EHThe Electro-Hydraulics training system includes an electrical control panel with relay control components and an electrical valve module with solenoid-operated hydraulic directional control valves and electrical/electronic sensors. These components will be used to study a variety of topics including electrical control systems, basic control devices, power devices, control relays, sequencing control, timer control, pressure control applications, and circuit applications. -
Item Number:CR-35iAFANUC’s new CR-35iA is the world’s first collaborative robot with a payload capacity of up to 35 kg. Fenceless, it opens a whole new world of possibilities. Working safely side by side with human operators, it is space as well as cost saving. And because inside it’s like any other FANUC robot, it operates like all FANUC robots. Certified to meet the requirements of ISO 10218-1:2011 and RIA/ANSI R15.06-2012, FANUC’s CR-35iA collaborative robot can work in a variety of applications alongside human workers including: machine tending, handling heavy payloads that require lift assist devices or custom equipment, higher payload mechanical assembly, palletizing or packing, and tote or carton handling. -
Item Number:CR-4iACR-4iA is a small collaborative robot with 4 kg payload -
Item Number:CR-7iAThe FANUC CR-7iA is FANUC's newest collaborative robot resembles the LR Mate family. Painted green to show it's ability to work beside humans, you can expect the same reliability as FANUC's yellow robots. The CR-7iA is ideal for small part sorting and assembly, inspection, machine tending, and part delivery. It has a 7 kg payload, 717 mm reach, and is equipped with iRVision and Force Sensing. There are a variety of mounting options such as floor, wall, and ceiling. -
FANUC’s new SCARA robots are ideal for high-speed, precision applications such as assembly, pick and place, testing/inspection and packaging processes. -
In the rare event that a burning ember or spark is drawn into the fume extraction unit, there is the possibility that debris in the filters could ignite. Although any resultant fire would typically be retained within the fume extraction unit, this would cause significant damage and in extreme circumstances, the risk may extend beyond the extraction unit. For processes where such risks have been identified, additional protection in the form of an in-line firebox is an additional precaution.

The BOFA inline pre-filter 1000 has been designed specifically for applications that generate high amounts of dust or particulate.
This inline filter unit is positioned alongside the main BOFA fume filtration system to increase the overall filter capacity and extend the life of the main filters. The DeepPleat DUO pre-filter incorporates a massive drop-out chamber within the filter, having a volume area of 15ltrs. Above the drop-out chamber but still within the housing there is a sealed 200mm deep pleat layer of F8 media giving a surface area in excess of 30 sq meters.
