Our training rooms and laboratories allow working on actual industrial pneumatic components by leading manufacturers:

• Parker, ORIGA Parker, Festo, Rexroth, Pneumax/Rectus, PIAB, NORGREN, BIMBA Pneumatics, SMC (pneumatic and electropneumatic control systems and actuators)
• IFM, BALLUFF, Relpol, SIEMENS, Pneumax (industrial sensors, relay and control systems, valve terminals)

For practical exercises we use diverse workstations. Depending on the degree of the course, we offer our students the following equipment:

ULTRASONIC LEAK DETECTOR

During our training courses, we also demonstrate operation of the leak detector for pneumatic installations. The device that we use is Leakshooter – ultrasonic leak detector with the embedded camera.

It enables leak detection of any pressurised gas. Perfect also for vacuum installations. The camera enables finding precise location of leak thanks to the color coded indicator. It is possible to take a photo of the leak location and then download it to your PC for further use.

Laboratory of Pneumatics dedicated for trainings at Client’s site

Apart from the open courses organized in our offices, we also offer a selection of courses in pneumatics and electropneumatics organized at our clients’ premises. These trainings are characterized by:

• a training scheme based on the individually chosen topics and tailored course materials
• in-depth analysis of the hydraulic diagrams provided by the client
• practical exercises on the industrial components
• exercises with the machines and systems from client’s production hall

We have our own car fleet and mobile units for basic exercises and individual assembly of the systems. Their sophisticated design and specially arranged functionality enable the realization of top quality training outside the EMT-Systems laboratory of industrial pneumatics.

Software

During the training the participants are presented with the functions of Fluid-SIM P software regarding the design and simulation of pneumatic and electropneumatic systems. The software enables the analysis of the medium increase and flow, determining pressure loss in the valves, defining velocity and acceleration of the pistons.

The trainings are conducted by well qualified didactic Staff of the local units of higher education (usually the Silesian University of Technology), who have a vast technical knowledge, and many years of training experience. In addition, they provide consulting services and work as experts for renowned trade periodicals. During trainings, their main focus is on passing knowledge of the real examples they have encountered in their professional work.

Our trainers are open to all suggestions made by the participants. It is very common that during trainings the group discusses the issues beyond the scope of the standard program that cover specific aspects of the students work.

Completed courses also lead to cooperation between EMT Systems and representatives of industrial facilities in the following areas: projects, modernization and commissioning lines.

• A course book: Industrial pneumatics compiled by the Engineering Training Center EMT-Systems and comprising the topics included in the course content.

The training is intended for the technical staff involved in the handling and operation of pneumatic and electropneumatic devices and engineers (designers, construction engineers and technologists) as well as those interested in gaining knowledge of the advanced of electropneumatic and pneumatic systems.

The optimum group for this training is a team of employees working in the same unit (including the manager, technicians and engineers). This way, it is possible to explore the limitations of the workers and gaps in their knowledge and to assess any discrepancies in expectations between the managers and junior staff.

• Fluently read complex electro-pneumatic circuit diagrams, analyze their performance and interpret the technical documentation
• Identification of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic components and the knowledge of their structure, purpose and activities
• Design the new and modify the existing control systems based on pneumatic and electropneumatic elements
• Use computer-aided design tools dedicated for the construction and simulation of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic systems
• Identification of defects in components and electro-pneumatic and pneumatic control systems
• The use of pneumatic logic elements in control systems
• Fluently use of Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps.

• Unlimited access to the Cechownia Cafe coffee bar, serving tea and high-quality freshly ground coffee. The bar is equipped with:
  • NECTO Karisma - a professional espresso machine of Italian production.
  • THERMOPLAN BW 4 - a professional espresso machine made in Switzerland.
  These are coffee machines used in the best coffee shops. According to your taste, we serve unique types of coffee - Cappuccino, Espresso, Americano, Caffe Latte and Turkish coffee. Training participants can also use unlimited sparkling and still water, juices and sweets.

• Two-course dinner - a combination of traditional, home-made flavors with meals served in restaurants.
