In this animated object, learners identify the basic parts and operation of a crank slider mechanism. They also follow the steps to use rotational input velocity to determine the linear output velocity of a slider component.
Robotic welding is an increasingly popular tool used in industrial welding applications. Knowing how to program the robot is key. Explore how to improve your programming skills by using if-then-else, calls, unconditional jumps, and counters in this learning activity.
In this animated and interactive object, learners follow three steps to calibrate an opposed optical sensor. They consider horizontal alignment, the sensitivity setting, and having an effective beam.
In this animated activity, learners examine how cavitation occurs in a hydraulic pump. A video clip is included. Learners then test their knowledge in a brief quiz.
In this animated object, learners examine the situation that occurs when any two links of a mechanism lie in the same plane or on a straight line. Crank-sliders and crank-rockers are shown.
The learner reads an explanation of how to determine lengths for tubing and pipe bending and then performs calculations in an interactive exercise. Two methods for determining angle bends are shown. A calculator is required.
