Pneumatic and Vacuum Technology Course – QQI Level 6
Overview
Become confident with troubleshooting and maintaining Pneumatic and Vacuum systems. Get the theoretical knowledge, practical experience and thinking skills to maintain, set-up, align, tune, navigate and fault-find pneumatic and vacuum machine technologies. Custom designed training rigs and pick and place machine systems allow users to get hands-on with pneumatic systems, fostering a deep comprehension of their operation, troubleshooting and maintenance.
Who should attend?
Maintenance technicians, operators, machine builders
Course Objectives
At the end of the course the participants will be able to:
- Identify standard pneumatic components and understand how they function. Explain using the correct terminology maintenance activities, setups and adjustments associated with industrial pneumatic and vacuum technology. This is to include: air service units, fittings, tubing, speed controllers, pilot check valves, control valves, actuators, limit switches and vacuum generation and its control equipment.
- Explain safe work practice in relation system repair including the challenges of stored energy and the hazards presented by compressed air.
- Interpret valve and pneumatic circuit diagrams and symbols to assist functional understanding and fault-finding.
- Demonstrate correct construction and verification of a pneumatic application involving a minimum of two actuators, limit switches, two valve types, dump valve and service unit.
- Demonstrate how a working knowledge of components used in pneumatic and vacuum technology can inform fault-finding on a range of typical machine system faults.
