Fluid-based techniques for system implementation are extremely important in industry, both at the command and power levels. In fact,  pneumatics and hydraulics  play an essential role in any automated system, since it is estimated that these techniques are  present in 90% of companies .

The  Diploma of University Specialization  in Automation by Pressurized Fluids  will teach you to control the different phases of a pressurized fluid system – pressure generation and flow, its adaptation, control, distribution and use -, in addition to the treatment of compressed air or fluids hydraulics. Therefore, in addition to pneumatics, hydraulics and electropneumatics, you will acquire knowledge of automation and industrial communication.

course objectives: Diploma of University Specialization in Automation by Fluids under Pressure

Knowing the automation techniques through programmed control technologies (programmable automatons) and fluid-based power systems, whether pneumatic or hydraulic, is the main objective of this Fluid Specialization. This training will give you the ability to  design, install and supervise  any production process based on  pneumatic and hydraulic systems , as well as perform a breakdown analysis.

You will learn to:

• Know the main characteristics (and differences), between the use of pneumatic and hydraulic components
• Design fluid-based power systems, regardless of the use of liquids or gases
• Apply the knowledge acquired in the interpretation of circuits with a view to establishing preventive and corrective maintenance policies.
• Manage the programming techniques used by programmable controllers, paying special attention to those related to electro-pneumatic and / or electro-hydraulic controls
• Mastering the different programming languages ​​of the programmable automatons (especially “list of instructions”), as well as the programming tools of the same
• Design the monitoring of automated facilities

This course is developed in collaboration with Siemens Automation.

professional outings: Diploma of University Specialization in Automation by Fluids under Pressure

With this course you will be able to train to work in:

• Responsible for production or maintenance of companies that integrate pneumatic and hydraulic techniques in their developments, or in their operation
• Positions of responsibility in technical offices, production departments, or maintenance of companies that in general are dedicated to the design, maintenance or operation of pneumatic and hydraulic installations
• Pneumatic and hydraulic installers

San Jorge University degree

Upon successful completion of the course, you will obtain a University Specialization Diploma in Pressurized Fluid Automation, issued by  Universidad San Jorge  (36 ECTS credits).

To access one of our  University Specialization Diplomas, the following  must be compulsorily completed:

• Being over 18 years*

* In this case, the title of Expert is issued indicating the content and duration of the study in hours. It does not award ECTS.

Or meet one of these requirements:

• Be in possession  of the Baccalaureate degree or equivalent  (also European and International Baccalaureate)
• To be in possession of the title of  Superior Technician of Professional Training , or Superior Technician in  Plastic Arts and Design  or  Superior Sports Technician .
• Be  over 25 years of age with at least one year of  accredited professional experience related to the content of the training.
• Be a university graduate or be studying a degree at the San Jorge University itself.

If this last access requirement is met, the degree issued will be a University Specialization Diploma  (36 ECTS credits). Otherwise, the student will obtain a Specialization Diploma .

SEAS courses prepare you to master the essential operations in your area, providing you with all the necessary tools to do so. In addition, they give you access to your  own virtual classroom  with live classes through Webinars and guarantee specific practices of your specialty.

You will learn to work with:
