SREC - SMC Center for Pneumatics and Grippers

SREC - SMC Center for Pneumatics and Grippers


In rapidly evolving industrial landscape, automation and control engineering stand at the forefront of technological advancement. To equip the engineers of tomorrow with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in this dynamic field, the SREC | SMC - Centre for Pneumatics and Grippers offers a unique learning experience that combines the power of pneumatic and electropneumatic systems with latest technology.

SREC | SMC - Centre for Pneumatics and Grippers is a comprehensive set of pneumatic and electropneumatic trainer kits. These kits provide students with hands-on exposure to the world of pneumatics, ranging from fundamental principles to advanced applications. The centre features Siemens PLC S1200, an industry-standard programmable logic controller. With it, students learn how to program and interface with this powerful automation tool, enabling them to automate and control pneumatic systems with precision. To further enhance the learning experience, we utilize Autosim200 software, a cutting-edge simulation platform. This software provides a virtual environment where students can design, test, and troubleshoot pneumatic and electro-pneumatic systems. This immersive approach allows for experimentation and iteration, fostering a deep understanding of real-world applications.
