Understanding Basic ElectroPneumatics

DESCRIPTION:

1.5 Day Seminar

new dimension in engineering management

delta Paradigm, Inc.

Electro-Pneumatics are primarily used in factories with fixed installations for automation purposes.
The follow-up course to Basic Pneumatics, Electro-Pneumatics, is dedicated to the electrical control of pneumatic actuators. We begin with a brief refresher of Ohms law and electric power law and continue with discussions on solenoid valves, relays and switches such as inductive, capacitive, laser, infrared, and radioactive sensing. During the three day course, the student will build and troubleshoot over 30 real world hands-on lab-exercises. Several hands-on lab exercises require the students to troubleshoot real world system problems. Every application which is being discussed wil be totally dissected in an animated program. This animation program allows the instructor to recalibrate: pressure, flow, torque, load and even upsize and downsize of components. This course is a pre-requisite for the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) course.
