Troubleshooting and maintenance of your pneumatics, FESTO ask - How competent are you?

Designed as an introduction to fault- finding and maintenance in pneumatic and electropneumatic systems, and how to avoid common mistakes and inefficiencies, Festo’s latest learning opportunity provides a comprehensive overview including: the specification of components, reading and understanding pneumatic/electromagnetic circuits, and systematically identifying faults.

Each area of content has been strategically designed to improve your approach to maintenance and efficiently deal with a varying degree of breakdown scenarios.

We are all aware of the need to reduce our carbon footprint for the sake of limiting climate change. According to the Government’s Business Department, banning halogen lamps will reduce carbon emissions by 1.26 million tonnes annually. That’s the equivalent of taking more than half a million cars off the UK’s roads. Together with other energy efficiency improvements for electrical appliances – announced in the same package of measures – emissions will be reduced every year by the equivalent of the year’s combined carbon emissions of Birmingham and Leeds.

The same package of improvements will also save consumers an average of £75 a year off their energy bills – more than making up for a little extra on the price tag of an LED lamp.
