Parker AC 890 SD and SEW Movitrac B 07

Apart from individual workstations, participants of training courses also have access to the laboratory of hydraulics, where frequency converters are used to power the pumps of the hydraulic feeders, which allows observing their operation and characteristics under the actual industrial load.

Today, the application of electric motors extends well beyond the simple powering machinery. What really counts nowadays is flexibility, controllability, often with no additional machinery (PLC, for instance). It is extremely important to consider the optimization of energy consumption during the nominal working cycle of the machine or device, as well as energy recovery to the grid at the moment of machine’s braking. Our training courses in drive systems focus on all the essential matters – from the selection of devices to be used in the drive systems, through their launching and diagnostics, to optimization and economy-related problems.

Training rooms and laboratories designed to learn about plastics are large, spacious and air-conditioned. The stations for students feature all necessary specialist equipment. Each participant has at their disposal a PC with simulation software, the latest product catalogues and full access to specialist laboratory equipment.

Our training laboratories enable the students to use industrial laboratory equipment and components provided by leading manufacturers – ZWICK/ROELL, Meusburger, IGUS.

During classes, students do many practical exercises using diversified training and laboratory workstations.

Zwick Mflow plastometer

A plastometer is used to determine Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and Melt Volume Rate (MVR):

• The device determines MFR and MVR of plastics in compliance with standards: ISO 1133, ASTM D 1328, ASTM D 3364, NF T51-038, JIS K 7210
• Test loads included in the basic unit: 0,325 i 2,16 kg
• Elements: filler funnel, cleaning accessories, USB cable
• Power input: 500W
• Pressure point soft touch keypad
• LCD graphic display, backlit
• Test load range: 0,325 to 21,6 kg
• Temperature range: +50 degrees C to +450 degrees C

ZWICK Charpy Impact Tester

A device is used to test the impact strength of plastics. a classic drop weight testers function on the principle of a linear fall movement. A mass with an impact object is released from a height that is usually defined. Since no other measurement follows specimen penetration, these simple drop weight testers are used for go/no go analysis with the staircase method or in around-the-clock method.

Analog Shore hardness testers

During our training courses, we use analog hardness testers with tripods for Shore A and D durometers and sets of 3 rubber durometer scales of Shore A and D.

Polymeric materials for identification

During practical part of the training course in plastics each participant receives a set of samples and a list of plastics to identify. Plastics that we use for the identification purposes are: PE, PP-R, CPVC, PP, PVC, PCV, ABS, PC, PCV SP, PMA, PMMA, PET, PE, high-density PE, PA, POM, PTFE, POM-C, PEEK, PETP, PU.

Preparing the samples for testing

The participants, with no assistance, prepare samples for tests, for instance using Shore durometers.

Samples and plastics granulates for laboratory testing

For all testing purposes, we use specially prepared samples. The underlying objective in testing the molding materials is a high degree of repeatability. It requires limiting the number of sample types:

• Dumbbell-shaped specimens for strength tests made of 7 types of plastics (PMMA, HDPE, PP, PC, PS, PA, PAGF30)
• Beams for impact tests made of 7 types of plastics (PMMA, HDPE, PP, PC, PS, PA, PAGF30)
• Granulates to determine the melt flow rate made of 8 types of plastics (POLYETHYLENE HD, POLYPROPHYLENE HP 456J, POLYPROPHYLENE HP 500N, PC 1220 U, POLYSTYRENE 535, POLYAMIDE PA6, PA66 G30, PMMA 205)

Ready elements and work pieces made of plastics

The laboratory is also equipped with a variety of ready products made of plastics – elements of car upholstery, cases, bearings made of plastics, industrial joints, car light. Elements are used to present exemplary work or defects.

BOY 25 E Injection molding machine

The BOY 25 E is based on a well proven design. Since 1968, more than 25,000 machines of this series have been delivered. Significant innovation is the increase to 27.5 tons clamping force and the possibility of a differential injection, which provides increased injection speeds. Travel speeds and improved dynamics could be achieved through further optimizations.

The BOY 25 E is characterized by highest precision and reliability. With a footprint of 2,805 in², the extremely compact injection molding machine is simple, clear and economically designed. The cantivelered clamping unit features easy access and room for numerous options including automated systems.

Six different sizes of injection units combined with seven different screw diameters offer a wide range of individual equipment options.

Trainings can be conducted at client‘s premises (foundry) or in EMT-Systems training rooms. In this case, some classes take place in laboratories of our partner school, equipped with all tools and materials necessary to practice the forming process and to examine molding material properties.

We can also use client’s laboratories to perform sheet metal formability test using Erichsen method.
