Here is an opportunity for you, your co-workers, employees and customers to come in and learn more about fluid power components, systems as well as the best application
of pneumatic/hydraulic technology to make machinery and equipment function in an
optimal way.
Tuesday, May 1
10:30 am to 11:30am Introduction to Hydraulics 1
Advantages of hydraulics; system operation; flow, pressure, speed, force, and torque; major components — pumps, valves, conductors, actuators, filters, fluids, reservoirs; symbology (reading schematics) and component interactions.
Presented by: Jerry Auble, CFC-Solar
Until recently, pressure ratings for ductile iron components were based on book values and theoretical calculations and have been somewhat conservative. This presentation will highlight the manufacturing benefits that can be gained by using continuously cast ductile iron bar stock for ductile iron components. The recent developments being done at Milwaukee School of Engineering determining the pressure ratings for ductile iron will also be presented.
Presented by: Bob O'Rourke, Dura-Bar and Molly Stieber, Milwaukee School of Engineering
1:30pm to 3:00pm Introduction to Hydraulics 2
Discrete, proportional, and servo control; directional, pressure, and flow-control circuits; energy-saving circuits; pump controls; electronic controls and sensors; hydrostatic drives; contamination and filtration.
Presented by: Jerry Auble, CFC-Solar
3:15pm to 4:30pm Hydraulic Components & Systems 1
A more in-depth discussion of hydraulic components, circuits, controls, and their interactions, with emphasis on contamination control to improve system reliability and reduce machine downtime and operating costs.
Presented by: Jerry Auble, CFC-Solar
Wednesday, May 2
10:30 am to 12:00 pm Hydraulic Components & Systems 2
Additional discussion of hydraulic components, circuits, controls, and their interactions, with emphasis on system and component troubleshooting and predictive and preventive maintenance to get more work out of equipment.
Presented by: Jerry Auble, CFC-Solar
1:00pm to 2:30pm Hydraulics in Mobile Equipment
Just about any heavy equipment that moves relies on hydrostatic drives. This session explores the operation of hydrostatic and implement drives excavators, dozers, loaders, and specialized mobile equipment, such as shredders, crushers, and grinders.
Presented by: Jerry Auble, CFC-Solar
2:45pm to 4:00pm Hydraulics in Stationary Equipment
Hydraulics is essential to the operation of balers, shredders, crushers, grinders, conveyors and other equipment used in waste disposal and recycling. This session examines some of the hydraulic circuits used in these powerful machines.
Presented by: Jerry Auble, CFC-Solar
4:00pm to 4:30pm Booth Tour
Attendees will be invited to an optional tour of a booth showing the real-world application of hydraulics in waste reduction equipment on the show floor.
