Coming Soon to Tooling University

New Soldering Classes

Tooling University will be releasing a series of new soldering classes before the end of the year. This new material will focus on proper manual soldering methods for technicians involved in custom applications or repair work. With these new classes, individuals can learn how to properly use common soldering equipment and also brush up on how to effectively work with lead-free materials.

New Motor Control Classes
Tooling University has started developing new Motor Control classes. These new classes build on the training currently offered in our Electrical Systems classes and are geared toward maintenance professionals. With these new classes, individuals will be able to read the symbols and specs contained in ladder diagrams and other prints, and will learn about the function and troubleshooting of common motor control components such as control devices, solenoids, starters, timers, and counters.

New Training for 2007 – Mazatrol Controls and PLCs
Tooling University is getting ready to kick off the New Year with two new and exciting training initiatives. For CNC machine operators, we plan to offer new classes on the Mazatrol Control. These classes will provide interactive control-specific training for machine operators using Mazak CNC machines. By taking these classes, individuals can learn how to enter and adjust offsets, load and execute programs, and perform other key tasks via conversational programming.

For maintenance professionals, we plan to offer PLC applications training. These classes will cover a wide range of topics including binary and hexadecimal conversions, input/output devices, programming with ladder logic, using timers and counters, and much more. Our eventual goal is to provide brand-specific training material that will help professionals maintain and troubleshoot real-world devices and systems.
