The Industrial Pneumatics training system provides the hands-on experience required to effectively troubleshoot and repair pneumatics systems used by today’s employers. This module familiarizes students with design, construction, and operation of pneumatic components. The EXPI acts as a building block to TII’s other technology systems, designed to interface with our other mobile benches. Our training system is accompanied by a comprehensive student manual. The curriculum begins with the fundamentals of pneumatics, which can be used as an introduction to the technology or as a review of key principles. Additional sections focus on different types of valves, cylinders, and pneumatic devices like vacuum Venturi generators, air motors, and rotary actuators. Lockable storage area provides space for manuals and additional components Specialty components available to expand capabilities of the system Mounting hardware included SpecificationsInstrumentation Section Instrumentation Section is mounted at eye-level for easy reading of gauges Panel is constructed of 16-guage chrome plated and brushed steel All gauges, cylinders, and instruments have been identified in large letting Includes: filter / regulator, lubricator, system pressure gauge, two in-line pressure testing gauges, four-port manifold, manometer, flowmeter, 24-volt DC power supply, momentary switch with output jacks Component Panel Mounted at an angle for ease of use Constructed of 16-guage chrome plated and brushed steel All instruments are clearly identified 5-way, 3-position closed center lever-operated directional control valve 2-position double-piloted directional control valve Additional Components Push-button actuator to fit all directional control valve bodies Two flow control valves Needle valve, shuttle valve, and check valve Two T-Fittings 16 pneumatic hoses with quick connect / disconnect couplers, color-coded by length Venturi assembly Manometer Accessories Air supply house Solenoid Valve Cable Storage Compartment Behind the component panel and accessed through a hinged door with lock Designed for storing hoses and extra components All components, hoses, instruments, and fitting are industrial-grade design All direction control valves are removable and dissectible Actuators and spools on direction control valves are interchangeable All fittings are ball-check quick connect / disconnect Curriculum Explorer I System Familiarization History and Applications of Pneumatics Fundamentals and Characteristics of Compressed Air Graphic Communication Symbols Air Compressors: Theory and Purpose Air Filters: Theory and Purpose Pressure Regulators: Theory and Purpose Lubricators: Theory and Purpose Instrumentation: Theory and Purpose Flow Meters Pressure Gauges Manometers Directional Control Valves: Theory and Purpose Manual Spool- Type Directional Control Valves Solenoid Actuated Spool-Type Directional Control Valves Air Pilot Type Directional Control Valves Pneumatic Actuators: Theory and Purpose Single Acting Cylinders Double Acting Cylinders Force/Area Relationship of a Cylinder Rotary Actuators: Theory and Purpose Rack and Pinion Rotary Actuators Air Motors Flow Controls: Theory and Purpose Flow Control Valves Needle Valves Check Valves: Theory and Purpose Simple Check Valves Shuttle Valves Venturi Vacuum Generators Maintenance and Troubleshooting Meter Out Cylinder Speed Control Control of an Air Motor Sequenced, Paired Cylinders in a Circuit Cylinders in Parallel Cylinders in Series Two-Step Speed Control of a Double Acting Cylinder Differential Pressure Circuit Clamp-Press Circuit Air Piloted Control of a Double Acting Cylinder
