DJJ40153 - Pneumatic and Hydraulics

EXPERIMENT : PT 2
TITLE : MULTI CYLINDER PNEUMATIC CIRCUIT
DURATION : 2 HOURS

1.0 Experiment outcome

At the end of the lab session students should be able:
i. Design pneumatic circuit according to assigned tasks (C5, PLO 3)
ii. Perform experiment on pneumatic circuit during practical session. (P4, PLO 5)

2.0 Task
Situation 1: Basic Multi Cylinder
As an engineer, you are given a task to develop a basic pneumatic circuit to transfer a box from
conveyor 1 to conveyor 2. This machine have two double acting cylinder. Once the box from
conveyor 1 reach to transfer station, the cylinder A will be extend and move the transfer station
to new location . Then the box on transfer station will be push by cylinder B to conveyor 2 for
the next task. Cylinder B only will be retract after transfer station return to it original position.

Cylinder A
Transfer
Conyeyor 1 station
Cylinder B
Conyeyor 2

a. Sketch the circuit

b. Construct the circuit on the board

Situation 2: Cascade System

The workpiece is placed manually in the work holder. By press the push button, the part is now
folded by the vertical cylinder A as it is forced downwards into the bottom plate. After that, the
other two horizontally cylinder B extend to fold in the ends of the part. The operation is
continue with both of cylinder B retact to original position and follow by cylinder A.
The diagrams below shown the above working operation and pnematic circuit by using cascade
system method with two (2) channel.
