In this animated activity, learners examine the various controls that operate an Ammco brake lathe.

The learner will examine different adapters and componants used with brake lathes when resurfacing brake drums and rotors.

Learners examine the proper way to set up standard and metric micrometers to measure the wear on a brake drum.

The student reads about the procedures for loading punches and turning a die block in an up-acting hydraulic press brake. The safe handling of press brake tooling is also illustrated.

Identifies the parts of the hydraulic press brake featuring the Adira up-acting press brake. Interactive section asks to identify parts after first learning them.

The operation of a hydraulic brake valve, including the internal components, is presented using animations.

Introduction to selecting the proper punch and die for air bending or bottoming when forming on a press brake. Includes charts and methods for selection.

In this learning activity you'll review safety considerations for using hydraulic press brakes.

Introduces two methods of determining bend allowance; one is simple and is an approximate, the other is more precise. Interactive part has learner calculate bend allowance and blank size.
