Laboratory
Conventional hydraulics
The workstations have a unique and Poland’s only design enabling exercises on different levels of advancement:- assembly and testing the operation of freely configured conventionally or electrically controlled hydraulic systems
- conducting field tests of typical hydraulic components (pumps, pressure valves of the designed hydraulic systems)
- simple, convenient and quick installation of the designed hydraulic systems
- testing the operation and observing the operation of a power system, pressure valves, directional and flow rate control valves and actuators
- acquiring skills in the field of design and installation of the electro-hydraulic systems of electric and proportional relay control
The workstations of electrohydraulics and proportional hydraulics
The workstations have a unique and Poland’s only design enabling exercises on different levels of advancement:- assembly and testing the operation of freely configured hydraulic systems, proportionally controlled in open or closed circuits
- acquiring skills in the field of design and installation of the electrohydraulic systems of electric and proportional relay control
- parameterization of proportional systems
The workstations of visualization and regulation of hydraulics system operation
The bench for practical exercises presents the classic operation of the hydraulic system. By using components made of PMMA, clearly visible are the channels, flows and the interior of each component used in the system while it is running. The bench is controlled by the automation system with visualization on the operator panel. The system is used to present to the participants the operation of the hydraulic systems, their strengths, weaknesses and the most failure-prone spots with methods of quick troubleshooting. Components of the system:- valve block
- actuator
- hydraulic accumulator
- working medium tank
- control panel with operator panel.
Advanced stations of mobile hydraulic drives
The station of mobile hydraulic drives and mobile control systems in proportional technology – Iqan control system – Parker Hannifin.The station of mobile drives with Load Sensing System
The station of mobile hydraulic drives equipped with drive system featuring a variable displacement pump and the Load Sensing control system (LS).Unique teaching aids
During our courses, we also use unique teaching elements and components:- tailor-made sections of all hydraulic system components
- we disassemble the components in order to show the classic failure consequences
Specialist tools
Participants learn and perform a series of exercises using professional industrial tools and measuring equipment. At your disposal:- Parker Service Master Plus analyzer used to measure i.a.: flow, temperature and pressure of the working medium
- HYDAC HMG 3010 analyzer used to measure i.a.: flow, temperature and pressure of the working medium
- A device filling the circuit with the working medium
- A working medium quality analyzer
- Many others
Software
The teaching process is being supported by Fluid-SIM H. The software helps to learn the principles of the design and simulation of hydraulic and electrohydraulic control systems. The software enables analyzing the increase of the level and rate of the flow, pressure drops in the valves as well as designating the velocity and accelerations of the cylinder’s pistons.

About us
Our experts
Our trainers have extensive theoretical and practical technical knowledge and are respected practitioners with years of documented work experience and many completed implementation and repair projects. In addition, they provide consulting services and work as experts in drive and control systems for the renowned national trade periodicals. During trainings, their main focus is on passing the knowledge of the real examples they have encountered in their professional work.
Our trainers are open to all suggestions made by the participants. It is very common that during trainings the group discusses the issues beyond the scope of the standard program that cover specific aspects of the students work.
Completed courses also lead to cooperation between EMT Systems Ltd. and representatives of industrial facilities in the following areas: projects, modernization and commissioning of the machine hydraulic systems and technological lines.

Closed training
Apart from the open courses organized in our offices, we also offer a selection of courses in power hydraulics organized at our clients’ premises. These trainings are characterized by:
- a training scheme based on the individually chosen topics and tailored course materials
- in-depth analysis of the hydraulic diagrams provided by the client
- practical exercises on the industrial components
- exercises with the machines and systems from client’s production hall
We have our own car fleet and mobile units for basic exercises and unassisted assembly of the systems. Their sophisticated design and specially arranged functionality enable the realization of atop quality training outside the EMT-Systems laboratory of power hydraulics.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Characterize particular elements if the servo-hydraulic system
- Model the physics working in the servo-hydraulic system
- Transfer mathematical model of the dynamic system to the space of states
- Perform time-frequency analysis of the servo-hydraulic system
- Design and optimize regulation loop in the SvH system
- Successfully run an experiment of the SvH system identification
- Select and evaluate an optimal substitute model for the identified servo-valve system
Aim of the course:
The objective of this course is acquisition of complex and specialist knowledge (theoretical and practical) in the area of servo-valve hydraulics, which is widely used in many places and branches of industry (machining centers, motion simulators, fatigue testers, excavation machines, military vehicles).
Exceptionally interesting part of the training is performing parameter identification of the actual system, which can be applied with the purpose of:- identifying time and frequency characteristics for servo-hydraulic systems (SvH),
- optimization of parameters for control loops in SvH systems
- detection of alterations (so called “fingerprint” diagnostics) in 24/7 systems in order to observe wear of elements and predict damages
- gain knowledge needed to design models of servo-hydraulic valves based on physical models of its particular elements
- learn the basics of the theory of control, widely used in the servo-valve hydraulic systems
- learn the methods of tuning regulation loops in SvH systems
- develop skills of preparing and running identification experiment (experimental modeling) of the servo-hydraulic system
