PRACTICAL LABORATORY 3 : SIMULATION SOFTWARE & HYDRAULICS
TASK 3
THEORY Automation Studio is a circuit design, simulation and project documentation software
for fluid power systems and electrical projects .It is used for CAD, maintenance, and
training purposes. Mainly used by engineers, trainers, and service and maintenance
personnel. Automation Studio can be applied in the design, training and troubleshooting
of hydraulics, pneumatics, HMI, and electrical control systems.
Hydraulic is the science of forces and movements transmitted by means of liquids. It

belongs alongside hydro mechanics.
There is a variety of applications for hydraulics in the construction machinery industry.

On an excavator, for example, not only are all working movements such as lifting,
gripping and swiveling movements generated hydraulically, but the drive mechanism is
also controlled by hydraulics. The straight working movements are generated by linear
actuators and the rotary movements by rotary actuators such as motors and rotary
drives

SAFETY a. Make sure the student follows the laboratory or workshop safety regulators.
PRECAUTIONS b. Experiment must be conduct by lecturers or experience lab assistance
c. Make sure there is no expose wire from electrical components such as electrical
pump.
d. Avoid to put hand on moving parts like electrical motor and hydraulic cylinder.
e. Do not exceed of working pressure of 5 bars while running the experiments.
f. Do not use the oil leakage components.
