This course surveys the basics of pneumatic and electro-pneumatics as they apply to industrial pneumatic systems. The operation and use of components associated with pneumatic systems will be discussed. The student will demonstrate his/her ability in practical application of valves, actuators, cylinders, compressors, filters, and other components common to pneumatic systems. Basic electrical circuits that control common industrial pneumatic circuits will be discussed. The student will demonstrate his/her ability in practical application electro-pneumatics.
