HAKO / GERMANY:

The pace of advancement in technical developments nowadays is ever increasing. The scope of the subject matter to be taught is becoming wider and more difficult, furthermore, in most cases, it has to be taught within a considerably shorter teaching period. Greater demands are continually being placed on the capacity for intellectual thought. Consequently, there is also a growing need for the utilisation of appropriate teaching aids. The great advantage of overhead models is their ability to show key technical processes in sufficient size and action. They are ideal for demonstrating principles and can be amplified through the addition of cutaways of the original parts.

It is important that the actual moving processes should not be demonstrated using a series of static slides, the movement action should instead be allowed to continually unfold. This improves understanding of the procedure whilst on the other hand minimising the amount of time required.

Years of teaching practice in vocational schools, advanced training classes and driving instruction centres led to the development of our overhead models. These models are manufactured from high quality acrylic glass, three millimetres thick and screwed together using galvanised M3 screws and washers to give you years of enjoyment. Should a model nevertheless become damaged we offer a repair service at cost price.

The base plate on our models is 300 x 300 x 3 millimetres in size. If you experience problems with storage of the models, we offer a small stand, which holds 10 models and a sealed cabinet for 50 models.

Our cutaway, assembly and functional models are an ideal complement to our range of overhead models. Once the basic functional principles have been worked through using the overhead models, the cutaway original components can then be used to explain the additional functions in more detail. Our range is completed by our engine test stands for workshop use. Adjustment, testing and maintenance works can be performed on working engines, as well as troubleshooting on actuators and sensors.

We shall continue to develop further models in the future and will keep you informed of progress. Should you have any suggestions or technical problems concerning demonstration please let us know. We will take them on board and endeavour to seek a solution for them.
