Trican, Canada, asks FPTI™ to develop a state-of-the art electrical trainer for their training center in Red Deer, Alberta -
-
FPTI™’s relationship with Trican began when the company purchased two of FPTI™’s model MF102D-H-TSE flagship training systems, and a model MF200-CAV pump cavitation simulator. Trican’s instructors were so impressed with the quality of FPTI™’s products that the company approached FPTI™ and asked us to design and build a state-of-the-art electrical trainer. There is no doubt FPTI™ had the engineering capability to do the job, so our innovative and talented design team began designing the brilliant MF900-EDC electrical training system.
With FPTI™’s strong hydraulic engineering capability, we decided to incorporate hydraulics into the electrical trainer so the starting and charging systems could operate in real time. The Model MF900-EDC is so advanced, that it encompasses the entire electrical system for an on-road or off-road vehicle, including FPTI™’s own J1939 protocol.
This is an artist’s rendering of the brilliant MF900-EDC
electrical training simulator.Here is what you can teach with the Model MF900-EDC in your lab:
• Integrated OHM’s law trainer • Lighting system: Including trailer lights. • Starting system – Through a transparent safety cover students can actually see the starter motor engage the flywheel. The flywheel is loaded hydraulically to simulate any starting condition, e.g., cold or hot starting. • Charging system – A few seconds after the vehicle “starts,” the hydraulically driven alternator spins up in real time. • Includes, windshield wipers, wheel speed indicator, real time engine oil pressure, flashers, emergency flashers, breakers, relays, etc. • J1939 protocol • Dual 12VDC batteries: Teaches students series and parallel circuits. • Flex plate: Makes it possible to seamlessly integrate your own electrical components. • Touch-screen and PC: Makes it possible to generate every type of electrical fault conceivable in starting, charging, lighting, J1939, etc., in real time. • Available in single-station or dual station configurations.

You ask – FPTI™ delivers! First diesel-powered MF500 in production -
FPTI™ is known for its ability, and willingness, to respond to the needs of our clients.
We have received a number of requests for a diesel-powered model MF500. While we were initially opposed to the idea mainly because of the noise, and also having to deal with exhaust gasses, we had to be respectful of the fact that there are technical schools and colleges that simply do not have the electrical power requirements to run a 20-HP electric motor.
Because safety is the nucleus of FPTI™’s product design, we chose a Deutz, air-cooled engine as the MF500D’s power plant. FPTI™ is currently accepting orders for the brilliant MF500D.

Tennessee College of Applied Technology is the first to offer students Fluid Power Training Institute™ certifications -
The Fluid Power Training Institute (FPTI™) has earned the reputation of being one of the most safety-focused fluid power education companies in the U.S.A. FPTI™ also maintains the strongest training, validation and assessment standards for fluid power technicians in the U.S.A.
FPTI™ is pleased to have partnered with the Tennessee College of Applied Technology’s School for Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance to offer their students FPTI™ certifications.
Course instructor, Mr. Dino Owen, attended FPTI™’s intensive two (2) week train-the-trainer workshop, at FPTI™’s headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, to become an FPTI™ accredited instructor.
Six (6) of Mr. Owens’ students are among the first to earn FPTI™ certifications in the skill of Interpreting Fluid Power Symbols.
We congratulate TCAT, and Mr. Owens, for striving to provide Tennessee’s thriving manufacturing sector with the most highly skilled Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance technicians in the country. FPTI™ is working with TCAT to provide certifications for all aspects of fluid power technology. We also, congratulate TCAT’s students for their efforts in earning FPTI™ certifications:
FPTI™ invites technical schools and colleges that have a strong desire to provide the highest level of fluid power education for their students to contact FPTI™ Founder/Director/Teacher/Author, Rory S. McLaren for details.
