Pneumatics and vacuum systems - single certified QQI module.

s. At the end of this 6-day modulw (split over 2 weeks) learners will be able to:

• Explain using the correct terminology and specifications, component names, relevant units of measurement, application examples, maintenance activities, setups and adjustments associated with industrial pneumatic technology. This is to include: air service units, fittings, tubing, speed controllers, 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.
• Given a performance specification description, 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.

This is a core module (15 ECTS)  on the Level 6 QQI Award in Industrial Technology (120 ECTS). Prices may vary depending on funding availability and eligibility. Price applies to a full class with training delivered on-site.
