ETC is the UK’s leading manufacturer of industrial training rigs. Our clients include EDF Energy, Sellafield Ltd and Babcock International.
Our training rigs are meticulously crafted, and often, custom made pieces of equipment which can be used to train apprentices, students, and technicians in a simulated environment. Equipped with specialist tools, our rigs offer a realistic hands-on training experience.
With a robust portfolio comprising over 50 different rigs, we are adept at tailoring solutions to meet specific requirements.
We have 4 key types of rig:
Electrical
Designed to teach apprentices, technicians and students in various electrical skills. One of our most popular electrical Rigs, our Electrical Fault-Finding Rig provides ‘hands on’ experience with electrical control circuits which incorporate different types of motor starting circuits and relay logic control circuits. Designed to allow users to work ‘off-line’ to troubleshoot faults in a safer 24V environment. We can also provide bespoke electrical Rigs to suit specific learning outcomes – please ask us if you have something specific in mind.
Process, Control & Instrumentation
Designed to teach apprentices, technicians and students in a variety of different skills. Designed to teach skills in areas of fluid control, such as flow, level, temperature and pressure. Our Flow Loop Multi-Purpose Rig and Diaphragm version of the same replicate a hot and cold water loop via pumps and valves, processes measurable via various instruments. We can also provide bespoke Rigs to suit specific learning outcomes for interactive training use or for demonstration – please ask us if you have something specific in mind.
Mechanical
Designed to teach apprentices, technicians and students in various mechanical skills. One of our most popular mechanical Rigs, our Motorised V-Belt & Chain Rig, is a powered Rig designed to demonstrate the correct fitting and alignment of V-Belts, Taper-Lock pulleys, Roller Chain drives and Sprockets. With safety in mind, it is fully interlocked by means of a clear protective casing. We can also provide bespoke electrical Rigs to suit specific learning outcomes – please ask us if you have something specific in mind.
Specialist
Designed with specific learning outcomes, these Rigs can be for fault-finding, demonstration, or for machine simulation. These Rigs can accommodate learning in many skills and/or be industry specific and are all built with useer safety in mind. Examples of our specialist Rigs include our Wind Turbine Hydraulic Fault & Electrical Fault-Finding Rigs, developed with leading wind industry companies and others where we have incorporated pneumatic equipment together with PLC control. Please ask us if you have a specific application in mind for a Rig or plant simulator.
