In this learning activity you'll recognize several patterns on an Xbar and R control chart. These non-random patterns are indications that the process is not in a state of statistical control.

In this interactive object, learners review how to read a caliper. They then test their skills with eight practice questions.

In this animated object, learners examine automated manufacturing systems classified as motion control, batch process control, and continuous process control.

Learners follow a step-by-step explanation of how to test fuses and circuit interrupting devices.

Students view how the tool length offsets are set on the CNC Machine. They read a description of a method that uses a 2-inch gage block as a height reference.

Students interpret pie chart information and identify the parts of a chart in an interactive exercise.

In this animated activity, learners read about the types of lines found on blueprints. A quiz completes the activity.

Learners read how to use the knobs and the output terminals of a Wavetek Model 25 function generator to obtain a waveform at a desired frequency.

You'll understand how to use a run chart to describe a manufacturing problem.

In this screencast, Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing: The Feature Control Frame, learners examine geometric characteristic symbols, tolerances, datum feature symbols, and other control frame information.

In this learning activity you'll discover how the Eagle Power Roller control panel operates.

In this animated object, learners view a race of two boats as an example of how the derivative function of a PID controller shortens the time duration of an operation.

You will learn how to us a flow chart to describe the process actions and decisions to find a solution.

Learners examine an animated motion-controlled robotic arm and observe the operation of a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control that makes movements quickly without overshooting or having a steady-state error. This activity has audio content.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of two-way, three-way, and four-way directional control valves used in pneumatic systems.

Learners study the operation of a ladder circuit in which coils on one rung control contacts in other rungs.

In this animated object, learners examine the operation of a feed-forward control system and its advantages over a closed-loop system. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated activity, learners examine the operation of hydraulic directional control valves and the internal components that divert the fluid.

Learners read how kanban is used in production control.

Learners examine the operation of a proportional control amplifier and the two ways that it is programmed using proportional gain or proportional band. A brief quiz completes the activity.
