Innovative Design Offers Exceptional Options
L
ab-Volt offers the most comprehensive and
flexible course in fluid power available. Lab-Volt’s
premier training system for fluid power
technology consists of two programs: the
Hydraulics Training System, Model 6080, and the
Pneumatics Training System, Model 6081.
Both are innovative, modular systems that
use state-of-the-ar t hardware and
courseware to deliver job training in fluid
power.
The entire fluid power series has been designed for
educational growth. Using either the Hydraulics or
the Pneumatics Training System, students gain a
solid foundation in, and hands-on experience with,
fluid power components and circuits, the principles
and concepts underlying fluid power systems and
applications, and methods of troubleshooting and
testing fluid systems. Each lesson builds upon
previous lessons, making this an ideal job-training
program.
Engineered for extreme ease of use, the core system
begins with a work surface assembly consisting of a
solid metal, universal drip-tray hinged to a
perforated, tiltable work surface that serves as a
panel onto which hydraulics or pneumatics components are mounted. By adding optional
expansion panels, the work surface can be
configured to accommodate a wide variety
of space and teaching needs. Mounting
and dismounting components is easy
with push-lock fasteners that snap
easily into the perforations on the
work surface. The tilting work
surface facilitates instructor
demonstration to an entire
class.

Ideal for Training Centers Tight
on Budget and Space
The basic Lab-Volt Hydraulics Training System consists of
a power unit, work surface assembly, industrial-grade
components, hoses, a hose rack, metering instruments and
related courseware. The basic Pneumatics Training System
consists of a work surface assembly, pneumatic
components, measuring instruments and necessary
pneumatic accessories to perform experiments. All
components in both systems exceed industrial safety
standards. Hydraulic connections are made through
double-check valve quick-disconnect fittings. Optional
equipment includes a mobile support bench with
expandable storage shelves, lockable dress panels and
additional expansion panels.

Operating on a standard electrical supply, the Hydraulics
system requires no special wiring. The power unit is
designed to match components with training needs. The
pump (3.0 l/min, 0.8 U.S. gal/min) delivers flow to
components at a rate that allows for observation and is
powerful enough to provide pressures in excess of 6200
kPa or 900 psi.
The scope of the entire Lab-Volt Fluid Power product line
addresses the diverse needs of secondary and postsecondary technology programs. The interfacing of
electronics, sensors, robots and controls makes the
Lab-Volt program an ideal cornerstone of any job-training
program in Mechatronics, Electromechanical Systems or
Automation.

Models 6080-1, 6080-A and 6080-B
The Lab-Volt Hydraulics Training System begins with Hydraulics Fundamentals, the first in a series of five subsystems
that take students from basic to advanced training in industry-standard hydraulic applications.
The standard modular system consists of a perforated work surface, components for the Hydraulics Fundamentals
course, a drip tray attached at the bottom of the work surface, a hose rack with hydraulic hoses, and a power supply unit
in a mobile frame.
The work surface and components (Model 6080-1) can be placed on a table, on an optional workbench containing
sliding channels for storing additional work surfaces (Model 6080-A), or a lockable, paneled bench (Model 6080-B).

Virtual Laboratory Equipment for Hydraulics
To provide training centers and students with a fast and
effective instructional tool, Lab-Volt has created a series of
Windows®-based simulation software programs (LVSIM®)
that cover the same material and produce the same results
as actual laboratory equipment. The Lab-Volt Hydraulics
training systems, Models 6080-1/2, also are available as an
LVSIM program.
Computer-screen images represent the standard laboratory
equipment and fully simulate the mechanical characteristics
of the actual hydraulic module. Using the mouse, students
can select and set up virtual equipment for a given exercise,
make the necessary connections between the simulated
modules and obtain the same results as with the real equipment.
Used either as a complement to the actual laboratory equipment or as a stand-alone product, LVSIM is a cost-effective
tool that enables students to safely and accurately perform
experiments and become familiar with the equipment configuration and laboratory setup before entering the lab. As a
result, their time spent in duplicating hands-on tasks in the
actual laboratory may be reduced by as much as 50%, resulting in the need for less physical hardware per student. In
addition, students can install a limited version of the
LVSIM software into their own computers, and practice
and prepare in advance for their lab exercises.
Sample screens from the LVSIM-HYD show simulations of the Hydraulics
Training System. Using virtual components, meters, gauges and hoses, students
can perform the same experiments and derive the same results as they would with
actual laboratory equipment.

Model 6080-4
The Servo/Proportional Control module is an addon to the Electrical Control system for the
Hydraulics Training System. Through hands-on
operation of signal conditioners; pressure, speed,
and position transducers; P.I.D. controllers; proportional control valves; and corresponding interface
hardware and courseware, students are trained in the
precise controls used in industrial applications such
as robotics, aviation, CNC machines, marine, mobile
equipment and material handling.
All exercises require Basic and Electrical Control of
Hydraulics (Models 6080-1 and 6080-2).

Virtual Laboratory Equipment for Pneumatics
Similar to LVSIM-HYD, this simulation software program
provides fast and effective training. By gaining familiarity
with equipment prior to entering the actual laboratory, either
in the classroom or on their own computers at home,
students may spend significantly less time (a reduction of up
to 50%) using the actual equipment. In addition, each student
would require less physical hardware, so the training system
is cost-effective, as well. The Lab-Volt Pneumatics training
system, Models 6081-1/2, also are available as an LVSIM
program.
LVSIM-PNEU can be used as a
stand-alone product or as a
complement to the actual laboratory equipment. In addition, it
