GLEEBLE OPERATOR TRAINING
Learn From The Team Who Designed It 

DSI's official Gleeble system training gives your operators the skills, confidence, and application knowledge to generate precise, reproducible data — delivered by the engineers who built and use the Gleeble every day.

 

Your Gleeble Is Only as Effective as the Operator Running It

Gleeble systems are the world's most capable thermo-mechanical physical simulators — capable of reproducing virtually any industrial thermal and mechanical process in a precise, controlled laboratory environment. But that capability is only realized by operators who truly understand the system.

DSI's official Gleeble training programs solve this directly. Every session is designed and delivered by Dynamic Systems' own metallurgists and engineers — the same team that designs, builds, programs, and supports Gleeble systems globally. You won't find this depth of institutional knowledge anywhere else.

Whether you're onboarding operators after a new system installation, supporting staff turnover at an established lab, or expanding your team's simulation capabilities, DSI provides the structured, hands-on instruction that turns system access into research and production results.

 

Pain Points We Address

  • Unreliable Data from Undertrained Operators - Improper setup and programming lead to wasted samples and inconsistent results.
  • Loss of Expertise from Staff Turnover - Critical system knowledge leaves with operators—training restores continuity quickly.

  • Underutilized System Capabilities - Many teams use only a fraction of what Gleeble can do; training unlocks its full potential.
  • One-Size-Fits-All Training Falls Short - Programs are tailored to your system and real-world applications—not generic labs.
  • Neglected Maintenance & Calibration - Proper training protects your investment and ensures long-term accuracy.

"Hands-on training with Gleeble experts bridges the gap between theory and real-world materials behavior. Users work directly with the system to simulate actual processes and interpret results in real time. This practical experience leads to stronger, more reliable testing outcomes."

Two Ways to Train — Both Led by DSI Engineers

Whether you come to us or we come to you, the curriculum, quality, and instructors are the same. Choose the format that works best for your team and your schedule.

Factory Training at DSI USA Headquarters

Travel to Dynamic Systems' headquarters in Poestenkill, New York — where every Gleeble system is engineered and built — and train directly alongside the engineers who designed yours. This immersive program provides access to multiple Gleeble configurations, specialized lab environments, and the full depth of DSI's institutional knowledge. We can also incorporate time in the schedule to explore the attractions of New York's Capital Region.

Location 323 NY-355, Poestenkill, NY 12140, USA

Ideal For New system owners, comprehensive onboarding, teams seeking maximum system depth

Access Multiple Gleeble configurations, full laboratory resources

 Operator Training at Your Facility

DSI's training engineers travel to your location and deliver the complete training curriculum directly on your installed Gleeble system. Training in your exact operating environment accelerates real-world readiness, eliminates staff travel costs, and allows the curriculum to be built around your actual test programs and material systems. This is the preferred option for large teams, organizations with high operator turnover, and facilities where travel is impractical.

Location Your facility — anywhere in the world

Ideal For Large teams, existing system users, high-turnover environments, remote or international sites

Benefit Training is performed on your exact machine and test setup
