Description
Candidates become familiar with the symbols used in pneumatic and electro-pneumatic control schemes. They know how to draw a simple and more complex wiring diagram and use a wiring diagram in the manufacture of controls. After completing the training, candidates are able to perform work in the field of control, produce appropriate technical documentation and use it to detect errors. Working with pneumatic and electro-pneumatic components in practice is based on the maintenance of the system and individual units. There is an increasing emphasis on the efficiency of compressed air, from the compressor station to the user himself, and on the systematic monitoring of leaks in the system. Candidates work in teams or pairs. They think like mechatronics, move forward with great dedication and motivation, and become familiar with different approaches. They learn about the TPM philosophy, human-friendly automation, the Poka-Yoke method, the JIT approach, Kaizen. They learn about the bionic approach.
