At its core, industrial automation relies on the seamless interaction between electrical control and physical action. The Automatics Electro-Pneumatics Add-on (AU9015) is designed to illuminate this fundamental principle. It serves as a vital extension to the Matrix TSL Automatics Essentials solution, introducing the components that make this interaction possible: electric valves and sensors. This kit is built for educational settings where students need to move beyond basic pneumatics into the realm of electro-pneumatics. By providing a hands-on system, it solves the challenge of connecting abstract circuit diagrams to real-world automated processes. This prepares students for the integrated systems they will encounter in modern industry.
Students using the AU9015 add-on develop a practical understanding of how electrical signals control pneumatic force. The curriculum focuses on building and testing integrated circuits that combine the strengths of both technologies. Key skills include identifying and using various electric valves and sensors, interpreting electro-pneumatic circuit diagrams, and diagnosing system behavior where electrical inputs dictate mechanical outputs. This hands-on experience is directly applicable to creating automated sorting, clamping, or process control systems, mirroring tasks found in modern manufacturing and industrial maintenance.

Aidex is proud to supply the Automatics Electro-Pneumatics Add-on to learning institutions across the Midwest. We are committed to equipping educators and students in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska with the industry-leading tools they need to succeed.
The curriculum focuses on the principles of electro-pneumatics. It covers the function of solenoid-operated valves, the use of electrical sensors like reed switches for position feedback, and how to construct and troubleshoot integrated circuits that use electrical signals to control pneumatic actuators.
This add-on kit is designed for students in high school CTE programs, vocational schools, and colleges studying automation, industrial maintenance, mechatronics, or engineering technology. It is ideal for learners who have a basic understanding of pneumatics and are ready to advance to electronically controlled systems.
Yes, the AU9015 is an add-on kit designed specifically to complement and expand the capabilities of the Matrix TSL Automatics Essentials solution. It utilizes the core components and power supply from the base kit.
The kit includes sensors that are fundamental to electro-pneumatic control, such as magnetic reed switches. These sensors detect the position of the pneumatic cylinder’s piston, allowing for the creation of closed-loop and automated sequences.
The electro-pneumatic components in this add-on are powered by the base unit from the Automatics Essentials solution. No separate, additional power supply is required to operate the electric valves and sensors.
