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.

|
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.
