AIMCO Tool University Curriculum Overview

Through both classroom and hands-on training, each one of these elements is covered in depth through the use of our P.E.R.Q.® process. This "systems approach" to assembly will bring together all factors that enable production of high-quality products, efficiently and ergonomically by covering the following key topics:

  • Understanding all elements of the fastened joint.
  • Review the variables that influence torque measurement, data collection and process evaluation.
  • Proper tool selection - defined by the joint criteria.
  • Reaction impulse and other cumulative traumas - causes, effects and remedies.
  • Explore levels of automating the fastening process.
  • The reasons for a "systems approach" to every application.
  • Preventative maintenance and trouble-shooting techniques.

AIMCO Tool University Curriculum Overview:

Back to
Basics
  OBJECTIVE: Review torque, joint rates, clamp load and other basic concepts.


P.E.R.Q.® Principle   OBJECTIVE: To understand the primary motivations of many production engineers. To discover how each principle affects the other and their role in selecting the proper assembly solution.


Financial Considerations   OBJECTIVE: Review examples to determine cost justifications, paybacks and return on investment (ROI).


Torque Measurement   OBJECTIVE: To understand and compare the three methods of measurement: static, dynamic and residual. To learn what information each method provides. To see first hand how tool-type selection and joint rate affect torque measurement. Practice with the various types of equipment used on many assembly floors. Review basic tester and analyzer programming. Understand frequency response.


Torque Data Analysis   OBJECTIVE: To relate standard deviation, along with Cp and Cpk, and their role in improving quality.


Clutch Type Workshop   OBJECTIVE: Practice with the five major clutch styles. Compare and contrast their features and how to choose which type for different applications.


Torque Reaction Workshop   OBJECTIVE: Understand sources and factors in torque reaction. Understand how tool type and grip style affect torque reaction and ergonomics.


Pulse Tool Workshop   OBJECTIVE: Learn how pulse tools work. Understand the nuances in selecting the proper pulse tool for specific applications, based on the customer's priorities. Discover the types and fourteen generations of pulse tools. Review maintenance, repair, and diagnostic guidelines. Watch a pulse fluid change demonstration.


Application Role Plays   OBJECTIVE: Given a workpiece and written scenario, you and your group members decide the best tool and auxiliary equipment to fulfill this customer's needs.


Automate Your Assembly Process   OBJECTIVE: Looking to increase your productivity? Review screw presenters and screw feeding systems. You'll also cover fastener anatomy basics and payback calculations.


Fastener Tools   OBJECTIVE: You will learn how simple bits and sockets affect the assembly process. You'll review when special sockets or bits are appropriate.


Ergonomics and Tool Supports   OBJECTIVE: Tool Supports make a cleaner work area, protect tools and increase ergonomics.
