Designed as a general introduction, this pneumatic training course aims to familiarise delegates with the design, construction and operation of pneumatic components. This includes the interpretation of circuit diagrams and symbols as well as the construction of control systems. This pneumatic training course covers the use of compressed air for pneumatic control and as a signalling medium. A complete overview is given, covering compressors, storage, dryers and distribution as well as the design, construction and operation of a range of actuators, valves and ancillary equipment. The relevant ISO symbols are introduced and included in the circuit diagrams.
Designed as a general introduction to the potential of this software tool. FluidSim is versatile for preparing instruction in educational establishments and vocational training, as experimentation and self-learning system, or as a CAD system for the design and testing of control systems. The course uses a combination of short learning modules and hands-on exercises to convert theory and understanding into practical based knowledge.
Designed to familiarise delegates with the control methods used for more complex pneumatic circuits, the course aims to improve design, fault finding and maintenance techniques and skills. The course carries on from the 'Modern Industrial Pneumatics Fundamentals' course, continuing with the use of pneumatic controls. It introduces more complex control circuits and requires previous knowledge of valve operation, circuit symbols and reading diagrams.
Designed as a general introduction to the function and operation of pneumatic and electrical equipment used in simple Electro-Pneumatic controls, the course covers the design and practical construction of such circuits. The course deals with the control of pneumatic actuators using electrical sensing and switching devices. Electrical principles are covered at a basic level, but some previous knowledge of pneumatic equipment is required.
This module is designed to develop the fault finding skills of maintenance technicians/engineers.The process of fault finding is the focus of the course. External factors that can affect the process are discussed as well as methods, tools and practices that can assist in identifying faults. Although the course is 'technology neutral' exercises using pneumatic equipment are used to practice the skills and methods.
This course is designed as an introduction to fault-finding and maintenance in pneumatic and electropneumatic systems, and how to avoid common mistakes and inefficiencies. It provides a comprehensive overview including the identification of components, reading and understanding pneumatic/electropneumatic circuits and systematically identifying faults. The content will improve your approach to maintenance and efficiently dealing with breakdowns.
The course introduces the various control media used in automation systems and explains the operation of some of the components used to allow the delegates to compare control methods. Our mechatronics training covers the control of pneumatic actuators using pneumatic and electrical signalling devices together with the use of PLC's. The construction and operation of valves and sensors is investigated and used in the construction of control circuits.
Our mechatronics training course has been designed to provide delegates with the skills to design and construct more complex control systems involving two or more cylinders and convert them to pneumatic, electrical or PLC control. The course requires previous knowledge to the standard of 'Mechatronics Level 1', and continues to develop the same areas of control. Circuits involving logic, time delay and sequence control are designed and built using pneumatic, electrical and PLC equipment.
Designed as a general introduction to the subject of hydraulics, the course gives a comprehensive introduction to hydraulic equipment, components and circuit design. Applicable to multiple engineering type roles, this foundation of learning will improve communications between colleagues, suppliers and customers via a common understanding.

Designed to familiarise participants with more complex hydraulic controls, the course introduces aspects of the electrical control of hydraulic systems. The course investigates the control of multiple actuator circuits and includes sequence and pressure dependant operations. The use of accumulators is covered and some of their applications demonstrated in the practical exercises.
Designed to familiarise delegates with the construction and operation of proportional hydraulic valves, the course investigates the function of control amplifiers. The course introduces the use of proportional, directional and pressure control valves and explains their construction, operation and response characteristics. The connection and adjustment of the control amplifier is explained and its operation investigated in the practical exercises.
Designed to give delegates an introduction to PLC controlled systems, the course aims to familiarise them with the associated equipment and terminology, as well as the writing and implementation of simple programs. Programming is done using CoDeSys, a development environment for programming logic controller applications, which conforms to the international industrial standard IEC 61131-3.
Despite a high degree of automation, flexibility is one of the most important challenges in manufacturing companies. It demands the integration and networking of different controls in a complex automation system. This is further complicated by the huge variety of programming software available. Differences in user-interfaces, functionality and command sets cause confusion and make mistakes more likely. Our CoDeSys training focuses on providing candidates with a general introduction to the IEC 61131-3 Controller Development System from 3S.
