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.

In this screencast, learners examine the internal structure of an unloading valve. This learning object includes a video clip demonstrating the use of an unloading valve in a metal stamping application.

The tubehead is a sealed, heavy metal housing that contains the x-ray tube that produces dental x-rays. This learning object will provide students with practice identifying and labeling the dental x-ray tubehead.

Students view the formula for determining twist drill speeds in metal.

In this interactive object, students read how to calculate the blank size for cylinders in a three-roll pinch roller. A calculator is required for the brief quiz that completes the activity.

Roman numerals are used to identify the charges on metal cations having multiple oxidation states. Five examples are provided for practice.

In this screencast, we review the positions of metals, metalloids, and nonmetals in the Periodic Table and the general characteristics of each.

The learner will...be able to safely use grinding equipment in the welding and metal fabrication shop.

Learners examine the meaning of oxidation, reduction, and half-reaction, and watch a film showing the deposition of copper metal from the reduction of copper (II) ion by aluminum. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this learning activity, you’ll explore the characteristics of common, carbon steel shielded metal arc welding electrodes, which fall under American Welding Society specification A5.1.

In this simulation, learners follow a series of steps to operate the Marvel Saw PCII in the manual mode. This activity includes a video clip.

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

The learner reads about safety considerations for operating a hydraulic metal shear. Text, graphics and a brief assessment are included.

Step-by-step of setting the back gauge with an Adira Hydraulic Shear.

Picture of Adira hydraulic shear's operator's panel with part identification and instructions on how to start and stop the shear as well as setting stroke (cutting length).

In this simulation, learners follow 10 steps to program a job to saw metal. This activity includes a video clip.

The student is shown and then identifies the parts of a hydraulic shear.

Learners view wire feed power sources ranging from 110-volt, single phase units to 460-volt, three-phase units. A description and photos of each are provided.

In this interactive object, learners set up a shear, enter the back gauge dimension, and prepare to shear metal in a simulation of the Adira Hydraulic Shear.

In this simulation, learners follow steps to clear out a job that had been previously created.
