The principles of pneumatics form a fundamental layer of modern automation. Understanding how to control air pressure to create motion is a critical skill. The Automatics Essentials Solution AU9020 is a system designed to deconstruct these principles into clear, manageable concepts. Built for a classroom or lab environment, this desktop solution provides a safe, hands-on platform for students and educators. It moves beyond abstract theory by using real-world components to build a foundational knowledge of pneumatic circuit design and construction from the ground up. This approach transforms a complex topic into an engaging and achievable learning objective, perfect for those beginning their journey into automation and engineering.
Students build a foundational understanding of pneumatic systems by exploring the function of various valve types and mastering cylinder speed control. The curriculum advances to more complex applications, including combining valves to create logic functions, designing semi-automatic and automatic reciprocation, and creating sequences of movement. Learners also investigate advanced concepts such as using reservoirs for time delays and building both air bleed and pilot operated circuits. This hands-on approach ensures learners can translate theoretical knowledge of component symbols and circuit diagrams into practical, functioning systems, all while adhering to critical safety procedures for using high pressures.
