Why is it called "universal"?

The integrated hardware and software offer universal experimental capabilities to demonstratefluid power and motion control technology. The following are the general features:

Covered disciplines:

• Hydraulics, electro-hydraulic, pneumatic, electro-pneumatic and motion control.

Training contents:

• Basic to advanced level, standard and tailored courses for industrial and mobileapplications.

Control Mode:

• Manual, PC-based and PLC-base control

Controlled Axis:

• Linear and rotational axis.

Controlled Parameters:

• Position (linear – angular) - Flow/velocity (linear – angular) - Pressure/Force/Torque.

Data Acquisition:

• Digital switches (position – pressure - level) and
• Analog transducers (pressure – flow – rpm – torque)

Frame:

• Transportable frame, wheeled on industrial casters and one frame for all components.
• Components are industrial-graded and connected by ISO interchange quick-disconnects.
