Amatrol’s high school pneumatics training system (96-PNE1) teaches learners how to operate and install basic pneumatic systems, analyze performance, and design basic pneumatic circuits. Pneumatic power is a foundation of industry used in applications across fields like agriculture, pharmaceuticals, automation, and many more!

The high school pneumatics training system includes a basic pneumatics panel, basic pneumatics instrumentation panel, and a pneumatic hose and fittings set. The system features industrial-quality components to prepare learners for what they will encounter on the job. Learners will use these components to study major topic areas, such as pneumatic power systems, basic pneumatic circuits, principles of pneumatic pressure and flow, and pneumatic speed control circuits. The system can also be expanded with Amatrol’s Pneumatics 2 Learning System to teach intermediate pneumatic knowledge and skills.

Print reading skills are essential for anyone directly involved in developing and manufacturing products. Engineers and designers communicate all the technical information required to make a product via prints. Manufacturing personnel must correctly interpret the prints to create the product. Technicians use prints to understand how to repair and troubleshoot machinery. Beginning with the basics, Amatrol’s 96-PR1 Print Reading 1 Learning System leads students to a thorough understanding of print reading techniques and skills.

The 96-PR1 is set up to accommodate either self-directed or traditional classroom formats. This learning system can be used by itself and is also a core system in Amatrol’s project-based learning program. The Print Reading 1 Learning System uses interactive computer- based instruction with both theory and hands-on tutorials consisting of text, digital video, voice, online self-review tests, interactive simulations, color diagrams and color photos. Student curriculum covers industry related skills in print reading, including use of different reference coordinates, creating and editing drawings, using technical drawing views and dimensions, multi-view drawings, and developing schematic diagrams.

Amatrol's Robotics 1 and 2 Simulation Learning Systems (96-RSS1 and 96-RSS2) teaches the programming and operation of the Pegasus articulated servo robot. The Pegasus simulation software includes powerful 3D graphic simulation tool that reproduce the Pegasus and workcells in realistic 3D images with dynamic characteristics similar to actual operation. Learners can see four different views of workspace simultaneously. Solids modeling technology provides a realistic view of program results, including collision detection.

Intermediate Structural Engineering Training System for High School

Amatrol’s Structural Engineering 2 Learning System (96-SE2) adds to the Structural Engineering 1 Learning System (96-SE1) to teach statics, data acquisition, and bridge design analysis. The data acquisition system uses structural members equipped with stain gauges to measure the forces acting on a structure, constructed by the learners, and the system records these values to provide a clear picture of how the structure is reacting to the applied force. Through calculations and data acquisition analysis, intermediate structural engineering learners will analyze the forces in truss bridge designs.

The intermediate structural engineering training system includes a data acquisition system, bridge components fitted with strain gauges, a test fixture hardware package, and interactive multimedia student curriculum. The learning content covers topics such as bending stress and the moment of inertia, data acquisition, and truss bridge analysis.
