The air pressure control circuit discussed in this chapter is mainly based on the traditional pure pneumatic control. Its operating pressure is 3 to 8 kgf / cm2 , the output is between 0 to 3000 kgf, and the speed is between 0.5 to 1.5 m/sec . The following is Several commonly used pure pneumatic circuit design methods.
1 . Intuitive method.
2 . Cascade method.
3 . Cycle step method.
4-2 Intuitive method (Method or Intuition) the TOP
Signal processing method of this design
embodiment has the following ways:
1. The standing-wave
signal [ stagnation (Standing) mode ] :
It is used
for general signals. Installed at the end of the stroke of the pneumatic
cylinder with two-way rollers to generate standing wave signals, as shown in
Figure 4-8.

2. The pulse signal [ overstroke (over travel) mode ] : It is used for interference signal. Installed on the inner side of the end of the stroke of the cylinder with a unidirectional roller. After touching it, it will generate pulse signal. TOP

Intuitive design of the pneumatic circuit can use the method of Figure 4-10 to performone by one TOP

(b) Draw a motion picture , which is represented by a displacement time diagram, as shown in Figure 4-12 . At the same time, its exercise sequence is listed in abbreviation: A + B + AB- TOP

(c) Mapping the air pressure circuit TOP
Determine the operation method used by the limit switch ( Unidirectional or bidirectional roller ) : When the signal conflict on the two sides of the direction control element is caused, the interference signal needs to be processed into a pulse signal by overtravel ( that is, the limit switch must be unidirectional Roller and move inward ) . The remaining signal elements are actuated by two-way rollers. May be established below the interference analysis table analysis of
