I took an introductory training course in the basics of bolted joint design and function. The training exceeded my expectations in that more in-depth knowledge was gained regarding proper design and analysis of a wide range of joint types, especially considering that the training only spanned 2 days. I certainly gained more capability to perform my own job functions; I gained an ability to confirm some customer load requirements, which may aid in determining true root causes of some warranty issues as well as aid development of products for new vehicle platforms. Also, I can see potential for reducing some bolt sizes or changing materials for cost saving tasks. G, the course instructor, is obviously passionate about the subject material. Very engaging and willing to help. Takes time to explain concepts in different ways until everyone in the training group understands 100%. I would certainly recommend anyone, in any industry that deals with bolted joints, consult G and PCL Tork Technologies regarding any design issue they may be having.
