Backhoe controls are divided into two types: SAE and ISO. Both have two levers for rotation and curl, but differ in vertical arm movement. Foot pedals control machine tracks. Some older models use a three-lever system. There are two main types of backhoe controls in common use; the following are the layouts as specified by […]
Machine tools, such as lathes and milling machines, are used to manufacture finished products from solid materials. Controls have evolved from manual to computerized, with numerical and computer numerical controls offering precision and automation. Machine tools are generally used to manufacture finished products from solid materials. Tools, including lathes and milling machines, can be small […]
Conveyor controls have advanced beyond start and stop buttons, with options like reverse, up and down, and alternate path gates. Controls can be activated by human touch, barcodes, and infrared readers. Automatic controls sort packages and adjust conveyor speed. Hand controls adjust tension and alignment, and periodic checks ensure quality. Compressed air is used to […]
Controls designers create user interfaces on industrial machines using 3D design programs. They need knowledge of electronics, hydraulics, industrial equipment, design, and computers. A degree or certification in computer-aided writing and design is often required, and on-the-job training is common. To become a controls designer, you’ll need engineering and industrial design experience. Also known as […]
IT controls are the business application and supervisory portion of a company’s information storage and retrieval department. There are two types: general controls and application controls. General controls fall into three main control groups: resource, usability, and technical. Application controls monitor the operations of hardware, software, and user interactions. The focus of IT controls is […]
Controls engineering involves designing and constructing machines and systems using mathematical models to increase efficiency and production. Professionals specialize in various industries, including aerospace, chemical plants, and factories. A four-year degree and a master’s degree are usually required to find job opportunities. Controls engineering is a multifaceted profession involving the design and construction of machines […]
Actuator controls start, stop, and protect actuators from overload and excessive cycling. Simple manual or automated stop/start systems are used for single function roles, while multifunctional servo systems are used for complex installations. Actuators need to be started and stopped manually or automatically, and actuator controls can be simple or complex. Simple systems can be […]
An HVAC controls technician installs, repairs, and maintains HVAC equipment, including control systems, pumps, motors, and fans. They also coordinate with customers and perform administrative functions, such as preparing cost estimates and keeping records. They may also train other employees. A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technician controls the technician installs, calibrates, and repairs […]
Entity-level controls assess internal machinery to guide organizations towards transparency and avoid fraud. They identify potential risks and establish a framework for risk control, ensuring greater accountability and efficiency across all departments. Entity-level controls refer to an assessment of the internal machinery in place in an organization to help guide that organization’s activities towards transparency […]
