DESCRIPTION

Technical Description

The RT 770 is a fully equipped training system with all necessary components and aids to conduct a comprehensive training course in the fundamentals of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic controls. The didactic structure of the course is based on the long-established BIBB training concept. In addition to the BIBB course experiments, RT 770 also includes a PLC (programmable logic controller). 

The system comprises standard industrial components. The board-mounted components are securely attached to the assembly panels by a special quick-clamping system. The assembly area consists of two panels that are arranged in a roof-like configuration and can be used simultaneously. Pneumatic and electro-pneumatic circuits are constructed with the aid of pneumatic hoses and laboratory cables. A miniature compressor supplies the experiments with compressed air.

The sturdy trolley provides clearly laid out storage for the components.

 An extensive package of literature and media is supplied.
