EXPERIMENT 1

Design a Pneumatic and an Electro-pneumatic System

Objective:

To study on how to design and develop an Automation system using Pneumatic system and
an Electro-pneumatic system, and understand the differences and the advantages among these
two systems.

Experiment 1(a) Design a Pneumatic System using Pneumatic Training System

Design a magazine clamping machine circuit with two cylinders based on below Machine
diagram and descriptions.


Figure 1. Machine diagram

Process description

1. When a push-button is operated, a pressure die-cast housing for a surveillance camera is
fed from a magazine to machining station by a double-acting cylinder (1A) and clamped.

2. A second, pressure restricted, double-acting cylinder (2A) then clamps the thin walled
housing from a direction of 90 degree to the first cylinder. The completed clamping
action is signaled by 2/3-way roller lever valves.

3. When the machining of the housing is finished, a second push button is operated. This
causes an unthrottled return stroke of both cylinders in the reverse sequence.

Experiment 1(b) Design an Electro-pneumatic system using Electro-pneumatic
Training System

Product transfer on two level conveyors.

Two (2) double acting cylinders (A and B) are used to transfer product on two level
conveyors system. Cylinder A will push slowly the product upward when proximity sensor C
detected upcoming part from 1
st
conveyor. Cylinder B will push slowly the product to 2
nd

conveyor. Both end position for cylinder A and B is monitor by limit switch. The system will
automatically ON when START button is pressed and OFF when STOP button is pressed.




Above operation can be translate to the Sequence diagram as shown in Diagram 1(a).

1) Design Pneumatic and Electrical circuit for above system using ONLY electro-pneumatic
component.
