This animated lesson shows how pushing a start or stop button on a ladder circuit causes the cylinder of a hydraulic circuit to extend and retract.

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

In this learning activity you'll review an explanation of how to operate the Hurco Controller in the manual mode.

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.

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

Learners are asked to control the Adira press brake following the same steps they would if working on the actual machine.

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

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.

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

Learners examine OSHA's guidelines of what to include in a bloodborne pathogen exposure control plan for persons who work in general industry, health care, emergency medical services, law enforcement, education, recreation industries, or other occupations in which there is a potential for exposure to blood, blood products, bodily fluids, or human tissues.

In this animated object, learners examine a closed-loop feedback system that uses digital circuits to control the position of a gear rack.

In this learning activity you'll examine the terms associated with a grouped frequency distribution and follows the steps to construct a grouped frequency distribution using manual methods.

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 learning activity you'll discover the features of a Puma Daewoo O-T CNC Lathe Control panel.

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

In this animated object, learners examine the ratio control method used in automation when two or more ingredients are mixed. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, learners examine an analog closed-loop feedback system that uses potentiometers to control the position of a gear rack.

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.

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

Learners examine the operation of the on-off control mode using a home heating example. A short quiz completes the activity.
