Exercise 8.jlmanahan

The document describes two exercises involving automatic return of cylinders. Exercise 8.1 involves using a single-acting cylinder to push wooden planks from a gravity feed magazine to a clamping device, then returning to the start position. Exercise 8.2 uses a double-acting cylinder to push articles from a multi-track gravity feed magazine to a clamping device, then returning it to the start position. Both exercises utilize pneumatic circuits including push-button valves, cylinders, hoses and other components to automatically return the cylinders after reaching the forward position.

EXERCISE 8

AUTOMATIC RETURN OF CYLINDERS

Exercise 8.1: Automatic Return of a single acting cylinder

Problem: Gravity Feed Magazine

Wooden planks will be pushed along from a


gravity feed magazine to a clamping device. By
pressing a pushbutton, one plank is pushed by
the slide under the gravity feed magazine. After
the slide has reached the forward end position,
it will return to the start position.

Exercise 8.2: Automatic Return of a double acting cylinder

Problem: Multi-Track Gravity Feed


Magazine

Articles will be pushed away from a multi-track


gravity feed magazine into a clamping device.
By pressing a pushbutton, the articles are
pushed from the multi-track gravity feed
magazine by a slide. After the slide has
reached the forward end position it will return to
its start position.
I. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

II. OBSERVATION:
I observed that the wooden planks will be pushed along from a gravity feed magazine to
a clamping device. When I pressed the pushbutton, one plank is pushed by the slide
under the gravity feed magazine. After the slide has reached the forward end position, it
will return to the start position. When one pushbutton is operated, air will flow through
the cylinder to make it extend then returns to initial position when released. Same
process with the second pushbutton. Then the cycle repeats.

IV. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

V. OBSERVATION:
I observed that it has the same observation in 8.1 but this time a 5/2-way valve is used to
operate a double acting cylinder. Articles will be pushed away from a multi-track gravity
feed magazine into a clamping device. By pressing a pushbutton, the articles are pushed
from the multi-track gravity feed magazine by a slide. After the slide has reached the
forward end position it will return to its start position.
