Basic Pneumatics

Course #

401

This is an instructor led, competency based program designed for entry level mechanics. The course will introduce mechanics to the fundamentals of Industrial Pneumatic controls. The fundamental Pneumatic components such as valves, Pneumatic actuators and accumulators are studied in detail. Each student will get a opportunity to design a Pneumatic system and test it on Pneumatic Training Simulator.
