Explorer 1 - Industrial Pneumatic Training System

TII

SKU: EXPI

Regular price $6,095.00

The Industrial Pneumatics training system provides the hands-on experience required to effectively troubleshoot and repair pneumatics systems used by today’s employers. This module familiarizes students with design, construction, and operation of pneumatic components. The EXPI acts as a building block to TII’s other technology systems, designed to interface with our other mobile benches.

Our training system is accompanied by a comprehensive student manual. The curriculum begins with the fundamentals of pneumatics, which can be used as an introduction to the technology or as a review of key principles. Additional sections focus on different types of valves, cylinders, and pneumatic devices like vacuum Venturi generators, air motors, and rotary actuators.

  • Lockable storage area provides space for manuals and additional components
  • Specialty components available to expand capabilities of the system
  • Mounting hardware included
