MV TRAINING

Training in the field of mechanical fasteners is relevant for anyone who works in this area or would like to do so. Mechanical fasteners, such as screws, bolts, rivets, rivets and clamps, secure components and structures and are used in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, construction and electrical engineering.

Both theoretical and practical aspects are taught in the training course. Participants will learn about the various fasteners, their properties, applications and techniques, the tools required and how to check and maintain the joints. The relevant standards and regulations are also taught.

Practical exercises and demonstrations supplement the theoretical content and enable participants to put their acquired knowledge into practice.

Course duration

One-day course: 8 units of 50 min.
