New training model: Maximator teaches hydraulics know-how

Category News

Service manager Dennis Kegler explains the thoughts behind the structure of the seminar: "It was our clear objective to teach those employees who do not generally work with hydraulic components about fluidics in general. This will allow them to understand the functional background, evaluate situations better, and to detect and rectify malfunctions more quickly." The goal is therefore not to train specialists, but to provide general knowledge to a wide range of users.

Close orientation to the needs of the target group

Compared to similar courses offered by other service providers, Maximator made a conscious decision to offer a less expensive (EUR 995) and more compact course. Instead of a one-week foundation course, Maximator teaches the basic know-how within three days in smaller groups of up to 12 persons. There is a large practical element to the course: machine operators primarily learn the skills they require on simulators. Without neglecting the theory, the focus always remains on practical relevance. The follow-up courses are scheduled for the following year.

Seminar contents:

• Structuring malfunctions
• Basic principles for the use of measuring equipment
• Troubleshooting methods for hydraulic systems
• Systematic troubleshooting in teams
• Evaluation of the condition of individual hydraulic parts
• Preventive maintenance for hydraulic systems
• Raising awareness for quality in maintenance and production
