As an independent neutral training body, with over R1,5 million invested in equipment for hands-on use by trainees, Festo Didactic is offering several new specialised industrial control systems training courses. The latest additions include both software and equipment for mechatronics, robotics, hydraulics, pneumatics and controls. Innovations include the Cosimir Educational Robotic software - which enables interactive training simulation with up- and download to real robot controllers - the latest Fluidsim hydraulic and pneumatic interactive design simulation software and the new advanced proportional hydraulic training courses.
These approved courses are aimed at all levels, from newcomers to advanced practitioners and cover: the fundamentals of control technology; hydraulics and proportional hydraulics; pneumatics and electro-pneumatic logic as well as PLCs. They are generic and not product-specific, enabling artisans, learner artisans, machine operators, foremen, technicians, engineers and draughtsmen to gain a certain skill set in order to understand control technology both in theory and in practice using real equipment.
Four-day courses take place at Festo Didactic's own fully equipped, modern lecture rooms in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London and Pretoria. Courses to be presented between July and December include Basic Pneumatics, Advanced Pneumatics, Electro-Pneumatics, Maintenance Pneumatics, Maintenance Pneumatics, Programmable Logic Controllers, Basic Hydraulics and Advanced Hydraulics.
Festo, together with Volkswagen and DaimlerChrysler, also developed and registered 'Mechatronics Level Five', a course now available at university or technikon level from both the Peninsula and Port Elizabeth Technikons. The students work on fully-operative miniaturised modules in teams, dismantling and reassembling the components of interconnected modules to produce working systems for all types of materials-handling and processing applications.
Training courses can be adjusted to suit specific individual requirements, and clients have the option of in-house training. The picture shows candidates at a Festo Didactic training course practice control technology skills using real industrial equipment.
