Americas Hydraulics TP 501 Equipment Set

The Lab-Volt Fluid Power System has been re-engineered and transferred to Festo Didactic’s Training Package series. TP 501 America now combines the proven learning approach through object-oriented courseware from Lab-Volt with the project-orientation from Festo Didactic. TP 501 America is the basic level for education in hydraulics and a prerequisite for TP 601 America, Electrohydraulics Basic Level. TP 501 and TP 601 America support vocational training institutes in their mission to educate skilled, resourceful technicians and engineers, as required by the local industry.
