Mechatronics & hydraulics courses

The Mechatronics courses, available in April and September, build on knowledge gained from the "Foundation in Pneumatics" courses that the Thorite Academy already offers. The new courses are designed to provide a wider practical understanding of pneumatic system signalling and control, incorporating electrical devices and PLCs.

The Foundation in Modern Industrial Hydraulics courses will take place in May and October and investigate the construction and operation of a range of hydraulic equipment, from fundamental principles to detailed examination of items including pressure valves, pumps, accumulators, pressure regulators, power packs and flow rates.
