Hydraulic Management System

Instructor by : Victor Malau DESCRIPTION Designed to familiarise participants with more complex hydraulic controls, the course introduces aspects of the electricalcontrol of hydraulic systems. The course investigates the control of multiple actuator circuits and includes sequence and pressure dependant operations. The use of accumulators is covered and some of their applications demonstratedin the practical exercises. Delegates will use switches, relays and proximity sensors to solve control problems and both circuit and motion diagrams will be used for circuit planning and fault finding.
