Milwaukee School of Engineering’s Fluid Power InstituteTM now uses a powerful trio of wear-particle analysis technologies, including LaserNet Fines, to diagnose machine condition for its industry clients. The Fluid Power InstituteTM is only university lab in the United States to utilize LaserNet technology, along with ferrography and Atomic Force Microscopy, to examine wear debris particles from fluid power systems and determine the root causes and severity of wear.
The Fluid Power InstituteTM has been a pioneer of motion control and fluid power education since its inception in 1962. In addition to providing hydraulics education to countless fluid power industries leaders, it has active programs in fluid power systems design, electrohydraulics, endurance testing, fluid development and contamination control.
