Pneumatic systems are widely used in production equipment. This course is designed to enable learners to maintain and fault find pneumatic systems in a safe manner.

Course Objectives

At the end of the course the participants will be able to:

  • Maintain the efficient operation of pneumatic systems.
  • Interpret Circuit Diagrams.
  • Identify standard pneumatic components and understand their functions and maintenance requirements.
  • Use Pneumatic Circuits to predict the behaviour of machines.
  • Locate, Diagnose and replace faulty components.
  • Explain the Health and Safety legislative requirements for air-powered machinery.
  • Take suitable precautions when working with Pneumatic Equipment

Course Modules

Module 1 / Compressed Air delivery systems. Theory, units and principles of compressed air systems, compressed air generation and distribution, air service units, soft-start valves.
Module 2 / Pneumatic Components, valves, actuators and flow controls. Types of actuator and sizing, valve types and designations, valve operators (roller, pilot, solenoid), cylinder directional control, 3/2 (nc and no), 5/2 (double and single), 5/3 (cc,oc,ec)
Module 3 / Pneumatic Circuits and symbols. Building, testing and fault finding pneumatic and electro-pneumatic circuits
Module 4 / Health and Safety requirements. Safe work practices, Sensor and valve PLC wiring and troubleshooting, sequential circuits.

Entry Requirements:

Learners are required to have an NFQ or equivalent Level 5 Certificate in a technical or related discipline. Alternatively, if learners have reached the standards of knowledge, skill and competence associated with Level 5 they can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning for Access to the programme.
