The Lab-Volt Hydraulics Electrical Control successor
The Lab-Volt Fluid Power System has been re-engineered and transferred to Festo Didactic’s Training Packages series.
TP 601 America is an extension to TP 501 America and a comprehensive introduction to electrohydraulics.
Equipment set TP 501 America is a prerequisite to use TP 601 America.
The electrical symbols in the courseware and on the modules are drawn according to NEMA standards. The design and simulation software FluidSIM® provides all required NEMA symbols in easy-to-access component libraries. In addition, all circuits in the courseware procedures are available in FluidSIM® for reference.
Next step: our additions – your choice
A variety of possibilities can be added according to your educational needs.
Supplementary equipment sets:
TP 610 – Measurement and control
TP 810 – Diagnostic System for Measurement, Visualization, and Analysis
Mobile Hydraulics Training Packages addressing the needs of future professionals dealing with vehicles e. g. from the construction, mining, and agriculture industries:
TP 801 – Mobile Hydraulics/Working Hydraulics I
TP 802 – Hydrostatic steering system
TP 803 – Working Hydraulics II (Load-Sensing)
Hydraulics energy supply
A variety of hydraulic power packs are available.
For basic hydraulic education workstations, a small hydraulic power pack with a single, constant-displacement pump is recommended. For double-sided workstation arrangements, two power packs are required to power each workplace individually.
For double-sided workstations covering basic and advanced hydraulics, a hydraulic power pack with two constant-displacement pumps and a higher flow rate is recommended. The power pack can be fitted with a wheel set to make it mobile beside the workstation.
The hydraulic power pack combining a load sensing controller and a variable and constant displacement pump is required only for TP 803 – Working Hydraulics II (Load-Sensing) but can be used also for the basics by using the constant pump.
