Mechanical Systems 2 Learning System – 96-MEC2
Amatrol’s Mechanical Systems 2 Learning System teaches the fundamentals of mechanical transmission systems used in industrial, agricultural, and mobile applications. Students will learn industry-relevant skills including how to operate, install, analyze performance, and design basic mechanical transmission systems using chains, v-belts, spur gears, bearings, and couplings.
The 96-MEC2 consists of a mechanical drives trainer with a mobile workstation, base motor package, prony brake, shaft panel, belt drive panel, chain drive panel, alignment package, indicator package, digital tachometer, mechanical guard assembly, supplemental hardware kit along with student learning materials for both theory and lab, and teacher’s assessment guide. This system uses industrial quality components to help assure that students are better prepared for what they will encounter on the job and to withstand frequent student use.
Interactive Multimedia – Amatrol’s Mechanical Systems 2 Learning System includes interactive multimedia curriculum in CD-ROM format. The multimedia teaches the same topics that are covered in the written student curriculum including: introduction to mechanical drive systems, key fasteners, power transmission systems, introduction to V-belt drives, and introduction to chain drives. It is the perfect instructional tool for today’s classroom with an exciting presentation and high quality learning content. Each topic’s presentation includes extensive videos, 3D animations, interactive exercises, and colorful graphics that will motivate students and help them learn more effectively.
The multimedia software content mirrors the print-based Learning Activity Packets (LAPs). Amatrol multimedia software is skills-based and provides a complete learning experience for the student with theory presentation and hands-on exercises.
Includes Prony Brake for Testing Load – The 96-MEC2 includes a prony brake which offers a cost effective way of replicating industrial circumstances by placing a load on the system. Using the prony brake students can test different levels of resistance, calculate drive system effectiveness and test various mechanical configurations.
Rigid Work Surface for Precision Alignment – The mobile workstation is constructed of heavy-duty welded steel and provides a precision-matched, thick work surface made of tooling plate material to enable students to perform precise shaft alignments. Holes are pre-drilled in the work surface by a CNC machine to enable students to quickly set up a variety of applications.
Mechanical Guard Assembly – The mechanical guard assemblies provide operator protection during mechanical drive operation. Two assemblies are included that latch together creating a lockable guard that encloses each setup that can be performed on the mechanical drive work surface. Adjustments can be made safely with the guards in place. The assemblies are stackable, which reduces the area required for storage.
