Pneumatic System Class - 6

The document contains 4 examples of pneumatic control systems using various valves and cylinders. Example 5 describes using a double-solenoid valve to control a double-acting cylinder based on two push buttons, with the cylinder maintaining its position even after the buttons are released. Example 6 involves using a single-solenoid valve and limit switch or proximity sensor to automatically retract a double-acting cylinder after it reaches the end of its extension stroke. Example 7 provides a circuit to continuously cycle a double-acting cylinder back and forth until a stop button is pressed using a double-solenoid valve. Example 8 describes controlling two cylinders - one to extend and position a job, and the second to stamp the job, with the first

Example 5: Memory control by using a double-solenoid valve


Control task: a double-acting cylinder is to be controlled using a 5/2 way double-
solenoid valve. When push button PB is pressed, the cylinder is to extend and has to
remain in this position even when push button PB1 is released. When push button
PB2 is pressed, the cylinder is to retract to the home position and has to remain in
that t position even when push button PB2 is released. Develop an electro-pneumatic
control circuit for this operation.

Example 6: Automatic return motion of a Double acting cylinder


Control Task: a double acting cylinder is to extend when a push-button is pressed. On
reaching the extreme end position, the cylinder is to retract automatically. A 5/2- DC single-
solenoid valve is used as the final control element. Develop an electro-pneumatic control
circuit to implement the control task using(1) a limit switch and (2) a proximity sensor for the
semi-automatic operation of the cylinder.

Example 7 : Cyclic operation of double-acting cylinder

Control task: When a ‘Start’ push button is pressed, a double-acting cylinder is to


perform a continuous back-and-forth motion until a ‘stop; push-button is pressed.
The cylinder should stop in the retracted position always. A 5/2 DC double-solenoid
valve is used as the final control element. Develop an electro-pneumatic control
circuit for implementing the fully automatic operation of the cylinder.

Example 8 : Pneumatically-controlled stamping device

Control task: cylinder A(1.0) extend and brings a job under the stamping cylinder B(2.0).
Cylinder B then extends and stamp the job. Cylinder A can return back only after cylinder B has
retracted fully. An electro-pneumatic control circuit has to be developed for realizing the control
task.
