This course provides the delegate with an insight into the field of fluid power systems (hydraulics) and its function in industry. The delegate will be exposed to the fundamental

Content

o Hydraulic pumps

o Hydraulic cylinders

o Hydraulic motors

o Hydraulic directional control valves

o Hydraulic pressure control valves

o Hydraulic flow control valves

o Hydraulic reservoirs

o Accumulators

o Filtration

o Hydraulic fittings and sealing

o Hydraulic fluids

o Hydraulic symbols

o Simple hydraulic circuits

elements of hydraulic systems as well as gain an understanding how such systems are controlled using the appropriately selected combination of hydraulic valves. The delegate will also be introduced to standard hydraulic documentation and nomenclature to effectively communicate and troubleshoot the design and function of hydraulic systems.

Mr. Vukovic obtained his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia and his master’s degree in fluid power systems & hydraulics from the University of Bath in the UK. He is also a registered professional engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).

He has in excess of 35 years of technical & supervisory experience and well respected in industry especially in the field of his expertise, namely; Hydraulics & Fluid Power Systems.

He has a passion for all things engineering and has spent the majority of his free time reading up on technical subjects. He boasts an impressive personal library of over 3000 technical textbooks. Mr Vukovic also remains current with industry standards and trends by attending global trade fairs and keeping abreast with new technologies though reading regular publications.

Mr. Vukovic enjoys sharing his broad knowledge base with others, whether it is through mentoring young engineers, formal seminars or just casual conversation, his solid understanding of engineering in general together with his clear and concise methodology of delivery allow for easy understanding of the topic at hand.

He began his professional career lecturing technical subjects to students in a local technical school after which, he then moved to an engineering manufacturing company where he designed tools for sheet metal working machines as well as supervised the production facilities.

In 1984 Mr. Vukovic immigrated to South Africa and began working at Koppel Elga as a Design Engineer. Whilst at Koppel Elga he designed a number of sheet metal working machines including press brakes, shears, eccentric presses and plate rolls.

He later joined the De Beers Diamond Research Laboratory (DRL) which was the research arm of the De Beers Industrial Diamond company (currently known as Element 6). Mr Vukovic began his career with De Beers as a Design & Plant Engineer having been responsible for the design & commissioning of a number of machines some of which included a stationary wire saw, an underground wire saw for non-explosive mining, pressure vessels, hydraulic systems, gas systems, control systems and a personal favourite of his; a 3000 tonne hot iso-static press.

Mr. Vukovic later progressed within De Beers to become the Group Engineering Manager (a global function within the group) where he managed as well as played a technical role within the engineering team which he led.
