VRTrain™
The best way to promote the successful integration of any machine tool or technology into your manufacturing operation is through training in setup, operation, and maintenance. A comprehensive training program gives operators and maintenance technicians the necessary foundation to ensure maximum output from your machinery.
But not all training is equal. Research has shown that even the best instructor, with the best student taking the best notes, will retain less than 70% within a week. In practical terms, that translates to less than 70% efficiency for typical training programs. And, that percentage decreases radically when people are left to learn through videos or by reading printed procedures.
A simulated learning environment provides your employees with the tools they need to effectively learn how to perform even the most complicated operations. Product Animations, Inc. (PAI) Productivity Improvement Tools provide an interactive, 3-D virtual environment that allows operators of complex machinery to clearly visualize processes and simulate real-life situations.
Training program includes:
Chapter 1 - Compression Cycle Parts
This chapter will help the operator learn to correctly identify the primary Hata 45 Tablet Press machine parts involved in the four stages of the Compression Cycle: Filling Stage, Metering Stage, Compression Stage and Ejection Stage. The operator will learn each part in the same order required by the machine to compress granulation into a finished tablet.
Chapter 2 - Tablet Press Parts
This chapter will help the operator learn to correctly identify the key parts, tools and ancillary equipment involved in a milligram product changeover on the Hata 45 Tablet Press machine.
Chapter 3 - Machine Disassembly
This chapter will help the operator learn step-by-step how to disassemble the Hata 45 Tablet Press machine as part of a milligram product changeover procedure.
Chapter 4 - Machine Assembly
This chapter will help the operator learn step-by-step how to assemble the Hata 45 Tablet Press machine as part of a milligram product changeover procedure.
Chapter 5 - Startup / Pre-Compression Sample
This chapter will help the operator learn step-by-step how to perform a Batch Startup on the Hata 45 Tablet Press including how to Load Product, Setup the Feed Control System, Fill Dies with Granulation, Measure Tablet Samples, Adjust Tablet Weight, Adjust Tablet Thickness and Adjust Tablet Hardness.
Chapter 6 - Individual Punch Check
This chapter will help the operator learn step-by-step how to perform the Individual Punch Reject Test (also known as the Dummy Punch Test) on the Hata 45 Tablet Press machine.
Chapter 7 - Reject Challenge / Weight Adjust
This chapter helps the operator learn step-by-step how to challenge the Hata 45 Tablet Press Reject System and make in-process tablet weight adjustments using target pressure.
