Lecture/lab

Students will examine typical electronic controls used to position pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders found in many mechanical processes. They will focus on the control aspect, not the mechanisms. However, the basics of cylinder and valve operation will be covered. Topics will include actuators, servo valves, for both pressure and position, and an Electro-pneumatic Automation Station. This course is 30 % lecture and 70 % lab.
