Hands on training on “Pneumatic Circuit Design”

The Department of Mechanical Engineering successfully conducted a Hands-on Training on “Pneumatic Circuit Design” at Mechatronics Laboratory for final-year undergraduate students. The programme aimed to enhance students’ practical knowledge of pneumatic systems and their applications in industrial automation.

The training session was conducted by Dr. R. Kandasamy, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, SCT. Students gained hands-on experience in designing, assembling, and testing pneumatic circuits using industrial components such as FRL units, directional control valves, flow control valves, pneumatic cylinders, and pressure regulators. They also used Automation Studio software to simulate pneumatic circuits, verify circuit operation, and understand sequence control before implementing the physical setup.

The session enabled students to strengthen their understanding of pneumatic circuit design, simulation, troubleshooting, and industrial automation. The programme successfully bridged the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications, enhancing students’ technical competency and readiness for industrial practice. A total of 25 students benefited from the course.
