The Pneumatics Starter deals with a variety of material, from the basic principles of physics (pressure, force) through to logic operations and the basic principles of automation technology.

It uses only authentic industrial components, which helps to ensure high motivation on the part of students. Students can discover the purpose of components for themselves and use them to assemble interesting circuits.

Getting to grips with technology

A further special feature is the opportunity for hands-on experience of the components – for example, the air supply for the Pneumatics Starter is provided by a small hand air pump and reservoir. This directly demonstrates to students the relationship between pressure and force.

Additional advantage - working with the Pneumatics Starter is absolutely safe.

Comprehensive practical range of media

Detailed documentation teaches the necessary basic principles, using photos, sectional views and basic representations. A comprehensive book of exercises with model solutions guides students as they progress from basic principles to assembling their own circuits.

Three complex project exercises complete the book of exercises and give students the opportunity to use what they have learned.
