Pneumatic and Electro-Pneumatic Systems, Design, Operation and Maintenance Course

Course Overview:

This course elaborates on the components, operations and applications of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic systems. 

It also touches on the operation and application of automating technologies including solenoid valves, memory circuits, and PLC automation. 

As a part of the training, students will be able to troubleshoot and analyze real-world case studies to fortify the working principles of electro-pneumatic schematics. 

This course Is customized for engineers, supervisors specializations in the engineering field of plants and builds their skill-set to help them design, construct, and engineer robust pneumatic systems embedded in industrial machinery.

Course Objectives:

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Learn pneumatic air fundamentals including generation and distribution
• Understand the working principles of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic components
• Learn to carry out successful automation from laboratory to the real-life project
• Understand the operations and maintenance of Pneumatic & Electro-Pneumatic components
• Know the software tools used for design, engineering, and simulation of circuits.
• Develop skills to diagnose/troubleshoot pneumatic and electro-pneumatic circuits

Who Should Attend?
