Parker Modular Training Stand with Parker logo

In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical, real-world skills is widening. Whether you are aiming to upskill your existing workforce to handle advanced machinery or prepare your students for successful entry into high-demand motion and control professions, the need for hands-on, high-quality training has never been more critical. This is where specialized, industrial-grade training equipment makes all the difference. Triad Technologies offers the Parker Modular Training System, a flexible, comprehensive solution designed to bridge the skills gap in fluid power and control using the same components professionals use on the job.

 

Parker Modular Trainers are built on the philosophy that the best way to master complex hydraulic and pneumatic concepts is by doing. These systems allow students and trainees to build and design actual fluid power circuits, moving beyond textbook diagrams to interact with industrial-grade components. This ensures they are comfortable and competent with the equipment they will encounter in real-world applications.

 

The foundation of the system is the robust, yet flexible, stand, built to support a dynamic learning environment. Triad carries two options:

Standard Stand (PSKSPO): A lightweight aluminum frame ideal for a versatile training setting. Components from any learning module easily snap onto the panel, allowing for quick configuration changes. It includes a hydraulic power unit (10-gallon reservoir, 1 HP 120VAC motor, 3.2 GPM gear pump, and all necessary safety features)

Double Sided Stand (PSKDPO): Perfect for larger classes or workshops, this stand features a double-sided panel, allowing two groups to work simultaneously on different circuits or modules, maximizing space efficiency.

 

The true strength of the Parker system lies in its modular approach, which allows educators to select and customize the curriculum based on specific needs and budgets. Here is a breakdown of the essential training modules available:

Module Name

Focus

Key Learning Outcomes

Basic Hydraulic Learning Module (BHLM01)

Foundational principles of hydraulics.

Introduces fundamental hydraulic components like various valves (Needle, Flow Control, Pressure Reducing), cylinders, flow meters, and pressure gauges, allowing for fourteen hands-on experiments.

Basic Hydraulic Expansion Module (BHEM02)

Advanced hydraulic circuits and components.

Builds upon the BHLM01 (and is required for use). It introduces more complex components such as an Open Center Valve, Sequencing Valve, and a Bi-Directional Gerotor Motor, enabling an additional seventeen experiments.

Pneumatic Learning Module (BPLM01)

Core principles of industrial pneumatics.

Covers the basics of compressed air systems, including various single- and double-rod cylinders, manual and air pilot valves (3/2, 5/2), flow controls, and air preparation components (Filter-Regulator). This module facilitates fifteen essential experiments.

 

By integrating Parker Modular Trainers into your program, you are investing in more than just equipment; you are investing in competence and future success. Provide an educational experience rooted in practical application with the same high-quality components students will rely on in their careers.
