Mechanical Engineering

Kids learn how a pneumatic system works with air pressure. The 36 page booklet describes how to build six different mechanical models from the 204 individual parts, consisting of different arms, legs and grippers. It is illustrated how the moving parts of a robot function technically and which power transmission can be achieved by a pneumatic piston.

The piston can move the arms and legs of models back and forth, showing how robotic limbs move. Learn how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in industrial robots to allow robots to manipulate heavy objects such as automotive components.
