Working Procedure:

Sequential control of 2 double acting
cylinder without overlapping signal









Figure 1




Elevate the work piece coming in on the right roller
conveyor, and send in a new direction.
Piston of the cylinder a raised the workplace to the
height of the second roller conveyor with its elevating
system, after the starting button actuated.
Position of cylinder a remained in this position until
cylinder b push the workplace from the elevating
platform onto the upper roller conveyer
Again cylinder a moves down, when cylinder a securely
pushed all the workplace onto the upper roller
conveyer.
Cylinder b retracts only when cylinder a retracts into
its lower end position. -both cylinders working speed
infinitely adjustable in both directions

Sequential control of 2 double acting cylinder
with overlapping signal







Figure 2

Place into a jig the workplace that is to be drilled by
hand.
The start button actuated, damps the work piece with
the piston of a double acting cylinder A
Once the work piece clamped, the piston of the
drilling cylinder B extended, the work piece drilled
and retracted automatically back into its end position
(once the drilling procedure complete).
The piston of cylinder A retracts and unclamps the
work piece when piston of cylinder B returns to its
upper end position.
Both cylinders working speed infinitely adjustable in
both directions


SEQUENTIAL CONTROL OF TWO DOUBLE ACTING
CYLINDERS WITHOUT OVERLAPPING SIGNALS
AND WITH OVERLAPPING SIGNALS


OBJECTIVES: At the end of the session the student should be able:

Apply safety rules in the laboratory.
Design pneumatic circuit using a sequential control of two
double acting cylinders without overlapping signal and
with overlapping signal.
Differentiate between sequential control without
overlapping signal and with overlapping signal.

Introduction

Pneumatic Systems

Most pneumatic circuits run at low power -- usually around 2 to 3 horsepower.
Two main advantages of air-operated circuits are their low initial cost and
design simplicity. Because air systems operate at relatively low pressure, the
components can be made of relatively inexpensive material -- often by mass
production processes such as plastic injection molding, or zinc or aluminum die-
casting. Either process cuts secondary machining operations and cost.
First cost of an air circuit may be less than a hydraulic circuit but operating cost
can be five to ten times higher. Compressing atmospheric air to a nominal
working pressure requires a lot of horsepower. Air motors are one of the most
costly components to operate. It takes approximately one horsepower to
compress 4 cfm of atmospheric air to 100 psi. A 1-hp air motor can take up to
60 cfm to operate, so the 1-hp air motor requires
(60/4) or 15 compressor horsepower when it runs. Fortunately, an air motor
does not have to run continuously but can be cycled as often as needed.
Air-driven machines are usually quieter than their hydraulic counterparts. This
is mainly because the power source (the air compressor) is installed remotely
from the machine in an enclosure that helps contain its noise. Because air is
compressible, an air-driven actuator cannot hold a load rigidly in place like a
hydraulic actuator does. An air-driven device can use a combination of air for
power and oil as the driving medium to overcome this problem, but the
combination adds cost to the circuit.

ADVANTAGE DISADVANTAGES
Available
air is available practically everyhere in
unlimited quantities
Preparation
Compressed air required good
preparation
Tranport
Air can be easily tranported in pipelines
even over distance
Compression
It is not always possible to achieve
uniform and constant
Storage
Compressed air can be stored in a
reservoir and removed
Force Requirement
Compressed air is economical only up
to a certain force requirement
Temperature
Compressed air is relatively insensitive
to temperature fluctuation
Noise level
The exhaust air is load
Cleanlines
Unlubricated exhaous air is clean
Component
The operating component are of simple
contruction
Safety Precaution:

Wear the safety gear before starting any practical work on the
trainer.
The working pressure shouldnt exceed 6 bar, that could be
achieved by adjusting the pressure regulator in the air service
unit to 6 bar.
Securely plug in pneumatic devices.
Keep piston rod travel free.
Check all connections before connecting the compressed air.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
Do not completely unscrew the regulating screw.
Tighten each locknut after setting the regulating screw.
Never tighten the regulating screw with force.
Never operate roller by hands.
Connect the compressed air supply only when you complete all
connections.

Name Quantity Function Picture
Double acting cylinder
2
Double-acting cylinders (DAC) use the
force of air to move in both extends and
retract strokes. They have two ports to
allow air in, one for outstroke and one
for in stroke.
