1-Select sensors that might be suitable for the following applications: (a) counting boxes
moving along a conveyor belt, (b) verifying the level of milk in a plastic bottle
moving along a conveyor belt, (c) determining when the piston in a cylinder has reached
a particular point in its extension; (d) determining when a metal plate has reached the
right position under a tool.
2- A diaphragm pressure sensor is required to give a measure of the gauge pressure present
in a system. Such a sensor will need to have a diaphragm with:
a. A vacuum on one side.
b. One side open to the atmosphere.
c. The pressure applied to both sides.
d. A controlled adjustable pressure applied to one side.
3- The change in resistance of an electrical resistance strain gauge with a gauge factor of 2.0
and resistance 100 O when subject to a strain of 0.001 is:
a. 0.0002 O b. 0.002 O c. 0.02 O d. 0.2 O

6- The Robot shown below is used in many automated factories. This robot picks up the work
piece being carried on conveyer A and places it on conveyer B. The operations sequences
are as follow:
i- When the start bottom is pressed, the robot rotate its arm clockwise
ii- When the robot arm has moved to the position of the work piece on conveyer A ,
arm grasp the work piece.
iii- When the arm has grasped the work piece, it rotates counterclockwise.
iv- When the arm has rotated to the position of conveyer B, it releases the work piece.
Design the pneumatic circuit for the above robot, Draw flow chart of the process
