Pneumatic Starter

With the pneumatic starter, students discover how the four disciplines connect as they understand how pressure and force is related and calculated, how pneumatical components work, how they are arranged in circuits and how they are designed to fulfill given technical tasks. The Pneumatics Starter deals with a variety of material, from the basic principles of physics (pressure, force) through to logic operations and the basic principles of automation technology. It uses only authentic industrial components, which helps to ensure high motivation on the part of students. Students can discover the purpose of components for themselves and use them to assemble interesting circuits.

Through the Pneumatic Starter, students will be able to:

• Understand Fundamentals of pneumatics & physical principles (volume, pressure, force)
• Apply Signal input and processing
• Describe Basic principles of automation & use logic operations (AND, OR)
• Design technical systems (component selection and component sizing)
• Create technical documentation: reading and producing circuit diagrams
• Basic mechanical skills (assembly, screwing, installation of tubing)
• Use Logic operations (AND, OR)
