In depth understanding about Hydraulics & Pneumatics systems is mandatory for assembly and maintenance engineers. This will help minimize / eliminate the down time of a machine or an equipment related to Hydraulic and Pneumatic system to ensure the smooth functioning and uninterrupted production. This programme will focus in depth understanding of Elements of Hydraulics circuits, Preventive Maintenance Procedures and Safe Trouble Shooting Practices.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing an online 3 day programme on Maintenance and Trouble Shooting of Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems.
