The Lab-Volt Hydraulics Fundamentals Successor
The Lab-Volt Fluid Power System has been re-engineered and transferred to Festo Didactic’s Training Packages series.
TP 501 America now combines the proven learning approach through object-oriented courseware from Lab-Volt with the project-orientation from Festo Didactic.
TP 501 America is the basic level for education in hydraulics and a prerequisite for TP 601 America, Electrohydraulics Basic Level.
TP 501 and TP 601 America support vocational training institutes in their mission to educate skilled, resourceful technicians and engineers, as required by the local industry.
Safe and sound system
The design of the system components ensures a high level of inherent safety.
The hydraulic hoses are equipped with leakage-free, self-sealing couplings in high-grade stainless steel that are easy on the environment and reduce contamination. The Spring Load for Cylinders comes with a safety cover to prevent potential hazards when high forces are involved.
The Cylinders come with a safety cover, reducing the risk of injury, and include a guide for easy positioning and a tool-free quick-action mounting system.
All power pack motors are equipped with overload protection, protection against restart, and an easy-to-access emergency off button.
Pure convenience
- Easy and precise switching of hand-lever valves.
- Ergonomic handwheels with a high resolution allow the simple and precise setting of the flow and pressure valves.
- Tool-free, single-hand operation with Quick-Fix mounting system.
- The equipment trays fit exactly into the drawers in Learnline/Learntop workstations.
- The trays are compatible with the Systainer suitcases for enhanced mobility.
- The solid aluminum structure and profile bars can support heavy components without twisting or bending.
- Easy and precise positioning of components along the profile groove
