Purpose: The aim of this work was to design and build a laboratory stand dedicated for didactic and research purposes connected with a Fluidic Muscle. The stand is placed at the Electropneumatic and PLC controllers Laboratory [10,11,12] of the Institute of Engineering Processes Automation and Integrated Manufacturing Systems of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The stand was designed and visualised by utilisation of professional CAD software - CATIA and a fluidic muscle was chosen according to a MuscleSIM programme of FESTO company. Findings: The device integrates the elements which are indispensable determinant of contemporary industry and the main aim of its construction was to bring closer conceptions and ideas connected with the construction and the outworking of the fluidic muscle, problems of proportional pressure control, visualisation and control of the industrial processes as well as making possible of carrying out the investigations and experiments on these elements. Research limitations/implications: The module structure of the research stand gives possibility to make its further development by adding extra modules that can be easily mounted on plates, which will make possible the implementation of series of individual positions controlled by one PLC. Thanks to the applied system of visualisation, switching among synoptic screens is possible. The visualisation represents every separate module of the stand and so, with the help of one operator position, gives possibility to control every chosen module of the whole device. Originality/value: The mechatronic didactic and research device introduced in the paper represents the new approach to the problem of visualisation and control of the fluidic muscle and constitutes the perfect tool of the aided didactic process in the Institute's laboratory.
