Aim: Operation of a single acting cylinder.

Problem description: The allocating device supplies aluminium valve blanks to a machining station. By operating a push button, the piston rod of the single acting cylinder is made to advance. After releasing the actuating button, the piston rod returns.

Apparatus: Single acting cylinder, 3/2 way valve with push button normally closed.

Working of the circuit: Step 1-2Through operating the 3/2 way valve via the push button, air is applied to the chamber on the piston rod side of cylinder. The piston rod of the cylinder advances, and pushes a valve blank out of the magazine. If valve continues to be operated, the piston rod remains in the forward end position.

Step 2-3After releasing the valve actuating button, the air in the cylinder is exhausted via the 3/2 way valve. The force of the return spring pushes the piston back to its initial position. The valve blanks are supplied from the magazine by gravity.

Aim: Use of 3/2 way valve with push button normally open type.

Apparatus: Single acting cylinder, One way flow control valve, Quick exhaust valve, 3/2 way valve with push button normally open type

Problem description: The parcel separating device feeds parcel post from a sloping conveyor slide to an X-ray appliance.

Operating a push button causes very rapid retraction of the single acting cylinder with the attached parcel tray. After releasing the valve actuator, the piston rod advances. Forward motion time of the cylinder is to be variable.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the single acting cylinder is advanced. The piston chamber is pressurized via the 3/2 way normally open push button valve.

Step 1-2By actuating the 3/2 way push button valve, the volume of air in cylinder is exhausted via the quick exhaust valve. The cylinder returns rapidly. If the push button continues to be actuated, the piston rod remains in the retracted end position. The next parcel slides into the parcel tray.

Step 2-3If the valve actuator is then released, the piston rod advances and lifts the parcel. The desired time of advance is set by means of the one way flow conrol valve.

Aim: Operation of a double acting cylinder, Quick exhaust valve, Dual pressure valve.

Problem description: Operation of two identical valves by push button causes the forming tool of an edge folding device to thrust downwards and fold over the edge of a flat sheet. If both or even just one push button is released, double acting cylinder slowly returns to the initial position.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, One way flow control valve, Quick exhaust valve, Single pilot 5/2 valve, Dual pressure valve, 3/2-way valve with push button normally closed – 2 Nos.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the piston rod of cylinder assumes the retracted end position. The power valve is in the left hand switching position.

Step 1-2If both the 3/2-way valves are actuated, pressure is applied at the output of the dual pressure valve. The 5/2 way valve reverses. The piston chamber of cylinder is supplied with unrestricted compressed air via the one way flow control valve. The cylinder travels to its forward end position. As the chamber on the piston rod side is rapidly exhausted through the quick exhaust valve, the cylinder motion is very fast. If both 3/2 way valves remain actuated, the cylinder remains in the forward end position.

Step 2-3If at least one of the push buttons is released, power valve is no longer pressurized. The valve reverses through the spring. The actuator travels to its initial position under conditions of flow restriction.

Aim: Use of dual pressure valve, Shuttle valve, Double pilot 5/2 way valve

Problem description: Surveyor’s measuring rods in 3 or 5 m length are marked in red with 200 mm graduations. There is a choice of two push buttons to start the forward movement of measuring rods via cylinder, which has the exhaust air throttled. The idle stroke, also started by a push button, can only take place when the double acting cylinder has reached its forward end position.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, One way flow control valve, Double pilot 5/2 valve, Dual pressure valve, Shuttle valve, 3/2-way valve with push button normally closed – 3 Nos., 3/2-way roller lever valve normally closed.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the piston rod of cylinder assumes the retracted end position. The pilot operated 5/2 way bi-stable valve with memory supplies air to the piston rod chamber and exhausts the chamber on the inlet side of the piston.

Step 1-2If at least one of the 3/2 way push button valves is actuated, memory valve reverses and the piston rod advances slowly with throttled exhaust air - with this the surveyor’s measuring rod is pushed forward. In the forward end position, the piston rod actuates the roller lever valve by means of the trip cam. If no push button has been actuated, the cylinder remains in the forward end position.

Step 2-3After pressing the push button of the directly actuated 3/2 way valve for the return stroke, memory valve reverses – the piston rod is rapidly retracted.

The commencement of the return stroke through the push button can be initiated only when the forward end position has been reached and roller lever valve thus actuated. If a counter signal is present at 5/2-way valve, the return stroke can not be initiated.

Aim: Use of time delay valve normally closed.

Problem description: A double acting cylinder guides cylinder pins towards a measuring device. The pins are separated by means of a continuous to and fro movement. The oscillating motion can be started by means of a valve with selector switch.

The duration of forward stroke and return stroke of the cylinder is to be adjustable. The cylinder is to remain in the forward end position for t = 5 seconds.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, One way flow control valve-2 Nos, Double pilot 5/2 valve, 5/2 way valve with selector switch, Dual pressure valve, 3/2-way roller lever valve normally closed – 2 Nos, Time delay valve normally closed.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position the piston rod of the cylinder assumes the retracted position. The trip cam actuates the roller lever valve. One of the two start conditions is fulfilled.

Step 1-2If the detented valve is actuated, the second condition of the dual-pressure valve is fulfilled, and the final control element is switched through. The piston rod extends with exhaust air throttled. The duration of the advance stroke is adjusted with one way flow control valve. In the forward end position, the trip cam actuates the roller lever valve. The time delay valve is pressurized. The reservoir is filled via the restrictor. After the set time of t = 5.0 seconds, the 3/2 way valve of the time delay valve is switched. A one signal is present at the output port. The final control element returns to its initial position.

Step 2-3Reversing the memory valve causes the piston rod to retract with exhaust air throttled. The duration of return stroke is set by means of the one way flow control valve. When the roller lever valve is re actuated, the return stroke is carried out.

Continuous cycleIf the start valve is de pressed and remains in the actuated position, the piston rod carries out a continuous to and fro movement. Only when the detent is returned to its initial position, is the motion sequence concluded at the end of the cycle.

Aim: Use of pressure sequence valve normally closed.

Problem description: Badges are to be produced from a very thin metal sheet.

A press with a stamping die is available for this purpose. The double acting cylinder should extend when both the push buttons S1 and S2 are pressed simultaneously. The return stroke is to occur automatically only after the forward end position and preset pressure have been reached to get the consistent quality.

The cylinder should immediately retract if emergency push button E is pressed.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, Pressure gauge, One way flow control valve, Dual pressure valve, Shuttle valve, Double pilot 5/2 way valve, 3/2 way valve with push button normally closed – 2 Nos. , 3/2-way roller lever valve normally closed, Pressure sequence valve.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the cylinder assumes the retracted end position. The final control valve supplies pressure to the chamber on the piston rod side of the cylinder.

Step 1-2If both the push buttons are actuated, the dual pressure valve passes on a signal to the 5/2 way valve on its left side. This causes the reversal of the final control element. The cylinder extends slowly with supply air throttled. The pressure regulator limits the pressure to a maximum of p = 4 bar. In the forward end position, the trip cam of the cylinder actuates the roller lever valve S1. This causes pressure to be applied to the pressure sequence valve. The pressure sequence valve is actuated when a pressure of p = 3 bar has been reached in the piston chamber. Adjust the flow control so that the slow increase in pressure causes the cylinder to pause in the forward end position.Step 2-3Once the pressure sequence valve has been switched, the final control element is reversed through the shuttle valve. The cylinder travels to its initial start position. In the case of emergency, the push button valve E is actuated during the forward stroke. It will reverse final control element immediately and the cylinder will retract.

Aim: Use of pressure sequence valve normally closed and time delay valve.

Problem description: An electrically heated welding rail is pressed onto a rotatable cold drum by a double acting cylinder and welds a continuous plastic sheet into pieces of tubing. The forward stroke is triggered by means of a push button. The maximum cylinder force is set at 4 bar via a pressure regulator with pressure gauge (This prevents the welding rail damaging the metal drum). The return stroke is not initiated until the forward end position has been acknowledged and the pressure in the piston area has reached 3 bar.The supply air is restricted for the movement of the cylinder. Restarting is only possible when the retracted end position has been reached and a time of t = 2 seconds has elapsed. Reversing a 5/2 way valve with selector switch causes the control to be switched to continuous cycle.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, One way flow control valve, Pressure gauge, Dual pressure valve, Shuttle valve, Double pilot 5/2 valve, 5/2 way valve with selector switch, 3/2-way valve with push button normally closed, 3/2-way roller lever valve normally closed – 2 Nos, Time delay valve normally closed, Pressure sequence valve.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the cylinder assumes the retracted end position. The final control valve supplies pressure to the chamber on the piston rod side of the cylinder. The roller lever valve is depressed and the time delay valve is actuated. A one signal is present at the right hand input of the dual pressure valve.Step 1-2If the push button is actuated, the shuttle valve passes on a signal to the dual pressure valve. This causes the reversal of the final control element. The cylinder extends slowly with supply air throttled. The pressure regulator limits the pressure to a maximum of p = 4 bar. In the forward end position, the trip cam of the cylinder actuates the roller lever valve. This causes pressure to be applied to the pressure sequence valve. The pressure sequence valve is actuated when a pressure of p = 3 bar has been reached in the piston chamber. Adjust the flow control so that the slow increase in pressure causes the cylinder to pause in the forward end position.Step 2-3Once the pressure sequence valve has been switched, the final control element is reversed. The cylinder travels to its initial start position. Re actuation of the roller lever valve causes power to be supplied to the pilot port of the time delay valve. Once the specified time of t = 2 seconds has elapsed, the dual pressure valve is supplied with air to the right of the time delay valve so that a renewed start is possible.Continuous cycleIf the selector switch of the valve is reversed, the control is switched to continuous cycle. Returning the detent to its initial position causes the control to stop at the end of the cycle.

Aim: Controlling the stroke length of a double acting cylinder using roller lever valve.

Problem description: After the liquid paint colors have been poured together into a bucket, they are mixed in by the vibrating machine.

When a push button has been pressed, the extended cylinder retracts completely and executes a to and fro movement in the rear stroke range. The oscillating is limited to the retracted end position by a roller lever valve as well as a second roller lever valve in the central position. The frequency of oscillating is adjustable within its limits by setting a pressure regulator controlling the amount of air supply. Set an operating pressure of p = 4 bar.

After a specified interval, the oscillator is switched off. The double acting cylinder extends completely and actuates the third roller lever valve. Set a vibration time of t = 5 seconds.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, Double pilot 5/2 way valve – 2 Nos., Shuttle valve, 3/2-way valve with push button normally closed, 3/2-way roller lever valve normally closed – 3 Nos, Time delay valve normally closed.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the cylinder assumes the forward end position and actuates the roller lever valve. The final control element assumes the right hand switching status. The memory valve is also in the right hand switching position.Step 1-2Actuating the push button valve reverses the memory valve. Air is present at the pilot port of the time delay valve. The final control element is reversed via the actuated roller lever valve and the shuttle valve; the cylinder retracts. Traveling over the roller lever valve does not yet have any effect. The trip cam actuates the roller lever valve in the retracted end position.Step 2-3With the roller lever valve actuated, the final control element reverses. The cylinder partially extends and actuates the central roller lever valve.Step 3-4The cylinder is reversed again by actuation of the central roller lever valve. The reversing procedure for the valves, and lasts only a few milliseconds so that the trip cam does not travel over the roller lever valve.Step 4-5See step 2-3Oscillating movementThe cylinder oscillates backwards and forwards between the roller lever valves until the specified time of t = 5 seconds has expired.Steps n-2 to nAfter the time delay valve has been switched, the memory valve is reversed. Roller lever valves are no longer supplied with compressed air. The cylinder travels to the initial position (forward end position).

Aim: Use of pneumatic counter

Problem description: Washers for injection pumps are to be cleaned in a cleaning bath. A double acting cylinder is used to dip a container with washers in and out of the cleaning bath. A push button is used to start the cleaning cycle. After reaching the forward end position, cylinder should oscillate between roller lever valves S2 and S3 for 10 times and on completion should stop in retracted position, S1. Next cycle should be possible only after 20 seconds.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, Double pilot 5/2 way valve – 2 Nos., Shuttle valve, 3/2-way valve with push button normally closed, 3/2-way roller lever valve normally closed – 3 Nos., Time delay valve normally closed, pneumatic counter.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the cylinder assumes the retracted position position and actuates the roller lever valve S1. The final control element assumes the left hand switching status.

Step 1-2Compressed air will be available in the inlet side of the push button valve after a delay time set in the time delay valve. Actuating the push button valve reverses the memory valve and the cylinder will extend. Traveling over the roller lever valve S2 will give signal to the counter to decrement. At the end of the stroke roller lever valve S3 gets pressed. Step 2-3With the roller lever valve S3 actuated, the final control element reverses. The cylinder retracts and actuates the central roller lever valve S2.Step 3-4The cylinder is reversed again by actuation of the central roller lever valve. The reversing procedure for the valves, and lasts only a few milliseconds so that the trip cam does not travel over the roller lever valve.Step 4-5See step 2-3Oscillating movementThe cylinder oscillates forwards and backwards between the roller lever valves until the counter gets decremented to zero.Steps n-2 to nWhen the counter gets decremented to zero due to the actuation of S2, the counter will release an output signal and reverse position of the memory valve(with port no. 4 blocked). Roller lever valve S2 is no longer supplied with compressed air. After actuation of S3, the cylinder will retract and pressing of S2 will not have any effect. The air supply from the output of time delay valve will reset the counter and counter output again gets blocked. The cylinder will retract to the initial position and press S1 and will be ready for the next cycle after the time delay.

Aim: Simultaneous actuation of multiple cylinders.

Problem description: Quarry stones are fed from a crushing roller to two vibrating sieves by means of an overhead conveyor belt. The fine upper sieves oscillate in opposing push pull motion to the coarser lower screen. The sieve oscillating frequency of the two double acting cylinders is set to f = 1 Hz via the quantity of air supplied in load dependent relation. Reversal takes place in the retracted end position via two roller lever valves. A third single acting cylinder unclogs the sieves via two cables. The stone sorter is switched on and off by a valve with selector switch.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinders – 2 Nos., Single acting cylinder, Double pilot 5/2 way valve – 3 Nos., 3/2-way roller lever valve normally closed – 2 Nos, 5/2 way valve with selector switch

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, double acting cylinder “A”(upper sieve) and single acting cylinder “C” (unclogger) assume the retracted end position; the double acting cylinder “B”(lower sieve) rests in the forward end position. Roller lever valve “1” is actuated.

Step 1-2After operation of the valve with selector switch final control elements (double pilot 5/2 way valves) are reversed. Cylinders A and C move forward. Cylinder B retracts and actuates the roller lever valve.

Step 2-3Through the actuation of roller lever valve “2”, all final control elements again reverse. Cylinder “B” moves forward. Cylinder “C” retracts. Cylinder “A” likewise retracts and again actuates the roller lever valve “1”.

Continuous cycleAs long as the 5/2 way valve with selector switch remains in the switched condition, the motion sequence will be repeated. If the valve is brought to the initial start position, the system remains in its initial position at the end of a cycle.

Aim: Simultaneous actuation of multiple cylinders.

Problem description: Pieces of stainless steel sheet of 0.6 mm thickness are placed by hand into the input station. After a valve has been operated by push button, the ejector cylinder retracts with exhaust air restricted while, at the same time, clamping cylinder also advances with its exhaust air restricted; the sieve blank is pushed along and clamped. The time for retraction of ejector cylinder and extension of clamping cylinder is to be adjustable.

During an adjustable clamping time of t = 5 seconds, a laser cutting head produces a fine mesh sieve.

Working of the circuit: In the initial position, the reversing valve supplies air to the line S2. The clamping cylinder is retracted and actuates the roller lever valve. Ejector cylinder is advanced and actuates the roller lever valve.

Step 1-2If push button is operated, reversing valve switches and supplies air to line S1, line S2 is exhausted. Both power valves are reversed. The ejector cylinder is retracted with its exhaust air restricted; at the same time clamping cylinder goes forward, likewise with exhaust air restricted and actuates roller lever valve. Clamping time t1 = 0.5 seconds is set by means of one way flow control valves. Actuation of roller lever valve supplies pressure to the pilot port of time delay valve. During the set clamping time of t2 = 5 seconds, the air reservoir of the time delay valve is filled.

Step 2-3Switching through time delay valve actuates reversing valve. Line S2 is pressurized, line S1 exhausted. After reversal of power valve, clamping cylinder is retracted without restriction and, in its retracted end position, actuates roller lever valve.

Step 3-4After the actuation of roller lever valve, power valve is reversed. Ejector cylinder advances rapidly. The fast forward motion is achieved through quick exhaust valve and the shortest possible length of tubing between the cylinder and quick exhaust valve.

Aim: Use of proximity sensors.

Problem: A station is to be used to check whether the lids of cans are present. If a can without a lid is encountered, this must be pushed one side by a pneumatic cylinder. The lids and cans are interrogated by means of sensors.

Apparatus: Single acting cylinder, 3/2 way single solenoid valve, Electrical signal input plate, Relay 3-off, Inductive proximity switch, Capacitive proximity switch.

Working of the circuit: In the circuit, when a metallic object (presence of metallic can) is placed in front of the inductive proximity sensor B, the electric circuit for relay K2 is closed and the contact K2 is closed. When a metallic/non metallic object (presence of metallic/non metallic cap) is placed in front of the capacitive proximity sensor A, the electric circuit for relay K1 is closed and the contact K1 is opened.

Aim: Use of proximity sensors.

Problem: A pneumatic cylinder is used to stamp a notch in the work piece. The stamping operation must be initiated when two of three signal generators are activated. The signal components a, b and c are fitted to provide sensing functions. When the work piece is removed from the device, the cylinder returns to its rearmost end position.

Solve the problem by using single acting cylinder and double acting cylinder.

Apparatus: Single acting cylinder, Double acting cylinder, 3/2 way single solenoid valve, 5/2 way double solenoid valve, Electrical signal input plate, Relay 3-off, Inductive proximity sensor, Capacitive proximity sensor, Optical proximity sensor.

Working of the circuit:Single acting cylinder: In the circuit, when a metallic object (presence of work piece) is placed in front of any two of the sensors, the corresponding relays get energized. The relay contacts get closed and solenoid coil Y1 gets energized and the single acting cylinder extends. When the object is removed from the front of sensors, the solenoid Y1 gets de energized due to the relay contacts getting opened. The piston of the cylinder retracts to its initial position

Double acting cylinder: In the circuit, when a metallic object (presence of work piece) is placed in front of any two of the sensors, the corresponding relays get energized.

When the object is removed from the front of sensors, the solenoid Y1 gets de energized due to the relay contacts getting opened. The piston of the cylinder retracts to its initial position

When the object is removed from the front of sensors, the current will flow through the normally closed contacts of the relays and the solenoid Y2 gets de energized. The piston of the cylinder retracts to its initial position

Aim: Use of pressure to electric converter.

Problem: Articles are to be stamped using a stamping device. By pressing two push buttons simultaneously the movable stamping die is pushed down and the article is stamped. After desired pressure is reached the die returns to its initial position even though the push buttons are still pressed.

Next cycle should be possible only after the push buttons are released.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, 5/2 way double solenoid valve, Pressure gauge, One way flow control valve, Electrical signal input plate, Relay 3 off – 2 Nos., Pressure to electric converter, Timer relay, Limit switch right actuated.

Working of the circuit: When both the push buttons are pressed simultaneously, the relay coils K1 and K2 get energized and they in turn energise coil K3. Solenoid coil Y1 gets energized and piston extends to the forward position. The limit switch S1 gets pressed and energise the pressure to electric (P/E) converter. Once the preset pressure is reached, the P/E converter gives output and the relay coil K5 gets energized. The relay contact K5 closes and energise solenoid coil Y2. The piston retracts to rear end position.

The next cycle is possible only after the push buttons are released. This is ensured by the use of ON delay timer K4. When both push buttons are pressed simultaneously, the normally closed contact of the ON delay timer K4 gets opened after the delay time. Thus the solenoid coil Y1 gets de energized.

Aim: Use of ON delay timer.

Problem: A double acting cylinder is used for embossing the slide rules.The cylinder extends only when both the push buttons are pressed simultaneously within three seconds to ensure complete safety of the operator. (i.e. both hands must be out of danger area when startingThe cylinder should retract immediately if any of the push button is released.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, 5/2 way double solenoid valve, Electrical signal input plate, Relay 3 off, Timer relay

Working of the circuit: When both the push buttons are pressed simultaneously, the relay coils K1 and K2 energize the relay K3. The relay contact K3 closes and solenoid coil Y1 gets energized. The piston of the double acting cylinder extends to the forward position.

If both the push buttons are not pressed simultaneously within the time preset in the ON delay timer, the normally closed contact of ON delay timer K4 opens and the solenoid coil Y1 will not get energized.

If any one of the push button is released, the solenoid Y2 gets energized through normally closed contact of relay coil K3 and piston of the cylinder will retract.

Aim: Use of ON delay timer.

Problem: A push button is to control the forward stroke. After the piston rod has reached the forward end position, the components are to be pressed together for 20 seconds. Then the piston rod is to return automatically to initial position.

The return stroke must occur even if the start push button is still depressed.

A new start signal may only become effective after the initial position has been reached and after the push button has been released.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, 5/2 way double solenoid valve, Electrical signal input plate, Relay 3 off, Timer relay, Limit switch right actuated, Limit switch left actuated,

Working of the circuit: When the push button is pressed, the relay coil K1 gets energized and the relay contact K1 closes. The solenoid coil Y1 gets energized and the piston rod of the cylinder starts extending. At the end of the stroke, the limit switch S2 gets pressed and ON delay timer K2 gets energized after the preset delay time. The timer relay contact closes and the solenoid coil Y2 gets energized. The piston of the cylinder starts retracting.

Before this solenoid coil Y1 gets de energized due to the normally closed contact K2 breaking the current path to Y1.Thus the return stroke will occur even if the push button is pressed.

The new start cycle will occur only after the initial position has been reached and after the push button has been released. This is ensured by breaking the power supply to Y1 by the normally closed contact of on delay timer K5.

Aim: Use of electrical counter

Problem: Washers for injection pumps are to be cleaned in a cleaning bath. A double acting cylinder is used to dip a container with washers in and out of the cleaning bath. A push button is used to start the cleaning cycle. After reaching the forward end position, cylinder should oscillate between reed switch S2 and limit switch S3 for 10 times and on completion should stop in retracted position and actuate limit switch,S1. Next cycle should be possible only after 20 sec.

Apparatus: Double acting cylinder, 5/2 way double solenoid valve, Electrical signal input plate, Relay 3 off, Timer relay, Electric Counter, Limit switch left actuated, Limit switch right actuated, Magnetic proximity sensor.

Working of the circuit: The limit switch S1 is in the actuated position and on delay timer will get energized after the delay time. The timer contacts K1 will close and the counter gets reset. When the push button is pressed, the solenoid coil Y1 gets energized and cylinder will start extending. When piston moves in the region of reed switch S2, the relay coil K2 gets energized, the relay contact K2 closes. The counter relay K3 will get input and gets decremented by one. At the end of the stroke, limit switch S3 gets pressed, solenoid coil Y2 gets energized and the piston rod starts retracting.

When the piston rod moves over S2, the relay coil K2 gets energized and the solenoid coil Y1 will get energized due to the relay contact K2 getting closed. Again the counter gets decremented by one.

In the tenth forward stroke when S2 gets actuated, the counter will get decremented to zero and counter relay coil K3 will give output. K3 contact will open and actuation of S2 during the last return stroke will not have any effect on the memory valve. The piston retracts to the initial position and the counter gets reset due to the actuation of limit switch S1.
