Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Students will learn the applications of pneumatic mechanisms in different industrial branches and for various operations. The description and function of different types of pneumatic mechanisms will be based on knowledge of a wide range of pneumatic components, their construction and function. They will be able to solve simple examples of compositions of pneumatic circuits and their analysis with the application of simple calculations. Thei will understand the interaction of load and control systems on function of pneumatic mechanism, and their simulations using the software and the practical realization of the trainers.
They will get acquainted with basic problems of operation and maintenance of pneumatic mechanisms and basic processes for measuring and testing.

Summary
Předmět navazuje na základní výklad tekutinových mechanizmů v předcházejícím
semestru a v praktických aplikacích je podkladem pro vypracování bakalářského
projektu. Studenti si osvojí na základě znalostí sortimentu pneumatických
prvků skladbu pneumatických systémů pro nejrůznější funkce a použití, a to s
ohledem na výhody těchto systémů a s přihlédnutím k oblastem použití. Důraz
bude kladen na kreslení a simulaci pneumatických obvodů v PneuSimu Pro a na
jejich praktickou realizaci a funkční odzkoušení na trenažérech Festo Didactic
a SMC. Cílem předmětu je nejen získat představu o možnostech použití
pneumatických mechanizmů, ale také naučit posluchače provést základní výpočty,
zvolit vhodné pneumatické prvky a navrhnout jednodušší pneumatické mechanizmy.
