The Laboratory of Electrical Measurements and Industrial Automation serves the needs of the course: 1) Industrial Automation 2) Electrical Engines 3) Electrotechnics

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

The technology that exists today in Greece and globally, in general, is mixed, in a meaning that it consists of at least three forms or grades of development: the manual technology, machines and automation. Automation is prevalent in Greece in a limited scale, but is the most dynamically developing new technology related to Scientific-Technological Revolution. The Industrial Automation Workshop, which belongs to the Energy Sector of the Department of Mechanical Engineering serves as a basic education for students in the corresponding cognitive subject, and developing activities related to basic applied research for achieving certaing goals.

Students are educated in subjects related to design, composition and applied automation systems using hydraulics, pneumatic and electro-pneumatic systems, as well as using PLC. In this way, students get the necessary introductory elements of one of the most dynamically developing technological sector. The equipment consists of high tech instruments, so that can be adjusted to future applications. About research, the laboratory can assist in matters related automatic engine control and appliances with flexible multichannel measurement systems and industrial automation design using PLC or other methods.

ELECTROTECHNICS

The Electrotechnicks Workshop’s mission is firstly to provide basic education to students in the corresponding cognitive subject, secondly, to develop activities in basic applied research to achieve certain results.
The education of students is in areas related to measurement, phenomena and arrangements in direct and alternating current (single phase and three phase), arrangements and basic electronic instruments, as well as elements of design of industrial and manufacturing installations. The equipment consists of instruments of high technology that can be used in future applications and developments.

Related to research, the laboratory, can assist in matters relating to power systems, renewable sources of energy and modern industrial and domestic electrical installations. The equipment of the Electrotechnic Laboratory consists of high technology instuments with the prediction, that, using small enhancementes and alterations, to be adjusted with future applications. In this laboratory, around 60-70 students are been instructed, divided into three groups, per semester.

ELECTRICAL ENGINES

This workshop aims to provide high quality infrastructure and sufficient knowledge to enable graduates to approach the modern and high technology of Electrical Machines and monitor the evolution of different forms of the profession. The education of students is in areas related to the behavior of electrical machines of dc and ac current, the connection methods and cycle configurations in various arrangements, the selection and design in installations of electrical movements and the partial evaluation and repair of their faults. The equipment consists of high technology instruments technology that can be adapted to future developments and applications.

Abour research, the laboratory can assist in matters relating to methods of designing various types of electric machines using modern software (MATHEMATICA) as well as in planning and exploring problems of electrically driven installation.
