George Navarro's Badge Portfolio
Applied Fluid Power
Description
Objective:
This industry recognized certification adds on to the Basic Pneumatics course in Level I. Students will learn how to read and interpret electro-pneumatics circuits and dive deeper into how to maintain, troubleshoot, and repair pneumatic systems. This will extend knowledge of complex pneumatic systems and improves your troubleshooting skills. Practical exercises on training equipment for setup, commissioning, troubleshooting, and fault elimination facilitate the transfer of knowledge to real world industrial applications.
Competencies
- Set up and commission complex pneumatic systems.
- Systematically troubleshoot pneumatic systems.
- Know the role of PLC in automation and to integrate the PLC into the control section.
- Work with valve terminals.
- Interpret latest standards and regulations.
Applicable Skills
Fundamentals of Fluid Power - Pneumatics
Description
Objective:

- Identify/explain function of pneumatic components.
Applicable Skills
Fundamentals of Fluid Power - Hydraulics
Description
Objective:
This hydraulic industry recognized certification training is designed to familiarize students with the construction and operation of hydraulic components. Investigating the construction and operation of a range of hydraulic equipment, this hydraulic training course covers the fundamental principles of hydraulics as well as the individual components. Valves controlling pressure, flow rate, sequence and direction of flow are included and practical exercises are used to demonstrate their operation, based on standard symbol circuits. Maintenance and a systematic approach to fault finding are also covered.
Competencies
- Design, assemble, test, and troubleshoot basic hydraulic circuits. Identify and describe the construction, design features, and operation of hydraulic components.
- Interpret technical specifications and data relating to hydraulic components and systems.
- Identify and explain graphical symbols for hydraulic components.
- Describe fundamentals of oil flow.
