MecLab은 산업 자동화 기술의 세계를 간결하게 소개하는 동시에, 기술 교육을 위한 모듈형 교육 시스템으로 활용됩니다. 각 스테이션은 실제와 유사한 자동화 요소를 구현하며, 개별적으로 또는 조합하여 사용할 수 있습니다.
또한 개별 스테이션을 결합하여 더 복잡한 생산 라인으로 구성할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 실제 산업 현장의 업무 흐름을 반영하는 일관된 프로세스 체인이 구축되며, 프로젝트 중심 업무에 대한 폭넓은 기회를 제공합니다.
짧은 적응 기간을 거친 후, 학생들은 MecLab을 활용해 스스로 학습할 수 있습니다. 그들은 프로세스를 분석하고, 업무 흐름을 계획하며, 해결책을 실행하고, 시스템을 지속적으로 개선합니다.
구성 요소 교체를 통해 기본 실습을 유연하게 확장하고 변경할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 과제를 다양한 학습 수준에 맞춰 조정하고, 필요에 따라 수시로 재구성할 수 있습니다.
MecLab은 고정된 시스템이 아니라, 필요에 따라 유연하게 확장할 수 있습니다. 세 가지 기본 스테이션 외에도, 예를 들어 마이크로컨트롤러(Arduino) 또는 로직 컨트롤러(LOGO!)를 이용한 프로그래밍을 위한 추가 모듈을 사용할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 학습 시스템은 다양한 교육 과정, 학습 수준 및 수업 목표에 에 맞춰 조정할 수 있습니다.
MecLab was developed specifically for technical vocational training in automation technology and addresses key requirements in schools. The training system offers a practical and motivating learning environment in which technical content is actively explored.
The modular structure provides flexibility for the application scenarios – from a step-by-step introduction to project work – and specifically promotes STEM skills such as problem-solving and systematic thinking.
Thanks to the intuitive operation, students can quickly work independently, develop solutions as a team and experience technical concepts in a practical and engaging way.
MecLab gives students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of industrial production step by step and in a way that is both motivating and educationally sound.
The MecLab teaching concept is based on modern teaching principles and supports teachers in lesson planning.
MecLab can be flexibly adapted to different learning environments, from individual workstations to group work and project teams to a complete classroom set. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be adapted to suit different teaching methods and learning objectives, and is suitable for both structured exercises and project-based work. Furthermore, the compact design also facilitates mobile applications.
None – MecLab was designed to help users get started with automation and is aimed at STEM students.
Depending on the variant, with 230V or 110V.
Yes – all stations have a modular design and can be combined with one another.
Yes, replacement and upgrade components are available for all stations.
MecLab is normally controlled using FluidSIM Light/MecLab.
Alternatively, it can also be controlled via a microcontroller or a LOGO! controller. Festo Didactic offers suitable, pre-configured packages for these variants.
Yes, it is possible to purchase additional FluidSIM Light/MecLab licences for Windows. These are available exclusively as licence package with 8 licences.
The supportinglearning materials for the MecLab stations (548704/ 548705/ 548706) and MecLab systems (549786/ 556276) are available free of charge.
FluidSIM E/P/H is the full version of the software, offering a comprehensive range of functions for the topics electrical engineering (E), pneumatics (P) and hydraulics (H).
FluidSIM Light/MecLab, on the other hand, has a reduced range of functions and is specifically designed for working with MecLab.
Upgrading from FluidSIM Light/MecLab to FluidSIM E/P/H is not possible.
A range of videos is available for FluidSIM, covering various topics such as GRAFCET, the creation of projects, and other basic and advanced features of the software.
The software FluidSIM Light/MecLab can be downloaded here.
