Equipment set TP 101 – Basic level: Basic pneumatics training

Performance through close proximity
Switches and valves should be mounted as close to the actuator as possible for optimum performance. You can now apply the same principle when designing your circuits thanks to the new components. Furthermore, this approach also provides you with an easy way of demonstrating the performance of a one-way flow control valve. You can even record the measured values and analyse the results, for example using the TP 210!

The next generation of valves
The new generation of valves allows the operation of various pressure zones – so nothing stands in the way of an efficient use of energy. In addition, the position of connection was optimised so that differences between the circuit symbol and the valve can be avoided.

Pneumatic timer
The pneumatic timer can be precisely adjusted and is easy to read. Pressure changes do not alter the set delay time. Pneumatics at its best.
