This course provides students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to install, maintain, and troubleshoot industrial machines used in manufacturing and production environments. Learners will gain competence in reading and interpreting machine installation drawings, aligning and assembling mechanical components, connecting electrical systems, and applying appropriate maintenance procedures to ensure optimal machine performance.
The course emphasizes adherence to safety standards, preventive maintenance practices, and the use of correct tools and instruments. Students will also develop problem-solving skills for diagnosing faults and performing corrective actions to minimize downtime and extend the lifespan of industrial equipment.
