The Iron Horse Electro-Pneumatic trainer utilizes compact industrial-grade components to allow you to teach the use of a variety of devices to build circuits that allow the student to use Proportional and Solenoid valves for control/operation of the devices. As with all of the Iron Horse Trainers, the priorities we place on building the trainers are:

• Priority One: Make the trainer as safe as possible for the students to operate.
• Priority Two: Make the trainer unit high quality, with realistic industrial-grade components - a trainer that will last for years.
• Priority Three: Make the trainer as simple to operate, and as economical for the customer to buy, as possible.
• Priority Four: Make the trainer as compact, secure, and as convenient to use as possible, while still making the unit realistic in operation and large enough so that multiple students can work at the trainer together.
• Priority Five: Have excellent resources (workbooks, instructor presentation materials, etc.) available for the instructor and the student to gain the most from our trainers. Continually improve and develop better resources.

With this in mind, we firmly believe our trainers are the best value you will find when searching for training equipment to teach Industrial Technology concepts.

The devices which compose the Electro-Pneumatic trainer include the following:

1. Two solenoid operated directional control valves that may be used as either Normally Closed - Energize to Open, or Normally Open - Energize to Close.
2. Two air pressure amplifiers.
3. One air operated vacuum generator which can be configured to be electrically actuated.
4. One vacuum gauge.
5. One pneumatic proximity sensor.
6. One pneumatic gap sensor.
7. One low-voltage DC power supply with lockable main on-off switch.
8. Two normally open push-button switches.
9. One pneumatic flow control valve with check bypass.
10. Two potentiometers for control of the proportional valves.
11. The electric terminals are easily connected with plain wires or alligator clip leads - both types of which are supplied with the trainer.
12. One squeeze bulb which is used to feed a low pressure air signal to the air pressure amplifiers.
13. An ample supply of multi-colored polyurethane tubing to connect the pneumatic circuits.
14. A suction cup to use with the vacuum generator.

All of the above listed components are mounted on four rugged plastic boxes, which may be easily mounted and rearranged to best suit your needs. The tubing, vacuum cup, squeeze bulb, wires, and alligator clip leads are loose - not mounted to a box. A 16 ga. galvanized A-frame is included with the Electro-Pneumatic Trainer Package. The A-frame unit has spaces for a maximum of nine modules to mount on each side, so there is a large amount of space to utilize the Electro-Pneumatics trainer with modules from our Pneumatics Trainer. This A-frame can be used as a table top unit allowing the Students to use the trainer in either a seated or standing position. One important feature of the A-frame module is that the two sides of the A-frame may be used by two Lab Groups at the same time. If you wish we have several different Work Benches that feature storage compartments to keep the trainers in a compact, neat, secure unit, which has the ability to keep loose components organized, and protected.

Also available is a compressor/air power supply unit which is mounted on a compact cart that easily moved to where it is needed, and easily stored. Like all of our various Power Supply Units, the compressor features a lockable master switch to prevent unauthorized operation of the unit. One compressor can power up to two double-sided trainers, thus up to eight Students can work with one air compressor unit.
