Engineering Training Equipment

Automatics is a range of products that simplifies the process of teaching and learning about pneumatic and automation systems. The Automatics range has been designed to suit the classroom environment. The pneumatic components are identical to those used by real engineers, but have been cleverly adapted so that students can construct automation systems speedily and without tools.

In order to address the growing requirement for students to learn about PLC control, sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics and Industry 4.0 and the effect it is having on the development of modern work environments, MATRIX has designed and released a Siemens or MIAC controlled desktop Smart Factory, which is compatible with their AllCode Robot Arm Production Cell.

The Matrix Electrical Machine System (EMS) enables students to safely interact and study the characteristics of 8 different types of compact motors in a classroom or shop floor.  The low voltage EMS is powered by a standard power outlet and provides the same instructional opportunities as much larger and expensive conventional systems.

Matrix Micro CNC

Many students avoid promising careers in manufacturing because they’re initially intimidated of noisy industrial equipment on a shop floor.  The portable Matrix MicroCNC unit is an affordable training system that is far less expensive than industrial units and can be setup in a standard classroom or lab.

The Structures range from Matrix, covers the seven commonly taught principles of structures, in the mechanical engineering subject area. Our solutions are suitable for colleges and universities worldwide.

The Structures range teaches students about Bending moments, Shear Force, Reactions of a simply supported beam, Bending Stress, Deflection of Beams, Torsion of rods and Pin jointed frameworks.

• Comprehensive curriculum and worksheets included with all 7 kits
• Rugged components designed to stand up to use in an educational lab
• Carry handle with specially molded cover to protect equipment when not in use
• Robust metal work panels, with removable legs for easy storage
• USB connection, for easy power with simultaneous data collection and analysis

The aviation teaching equipment from MATRIX satisfies the requirements of the EASA which is internationally recognized as the gold standard for training aviation maintenance engineers.

Matrix’s systems for aviation focus on:

• Electrical and electronic fundamentals in aviation
• Digital techniques and principles
• Various mechanical principles including fluids
• Avionics EFIS system
• Wind tunnel for study of aerodynamics

The study of fluid mechanics and the forces on them is becoming increasingly popular. With applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, civil, chemical and biomedical engineering, the Fundamental Fluids range from Matrix allows students to gain a hands on understanding of the key principles. A main workstation is supplied along with sixteen individual components, which allows students to build nine different experiments without the need for any additional tools. Six of the experiments are connected via USB to the pressure and flow sensors, which allows results to be automatically plotted on a graph for analysis. The remaining three experiments are carried out and plotted manually.

Each component is attached to the main workstation with quick release latches, allowing students to quickly build and dismantle each experiment. A full free curriculum is provided with easy to follow worksheets.
