I. Introduction
In this experiment, the students were tasked to complete 4 different activities. The first
activity enabled the students to create a pneumatic control circuit needed for a grinding machine.
The second activity enabled the students to understand the operation of sensor integrated control
circuits, build a similar circuit with a double-acting cylinder, and perform condition analysis. In
the third activity, the students were asked to build a control circuit without a reference layout as
well as explain the function of an automatic double-acting cylinder circuit. For the fourth and last
activity, the students were asked to build a control circuit that is simple, two cylinder control
circuit and used for operating a press as well as a safe, two-handed operating system.
Additionally, the students will utilize several operating components, which are vital in the
operation of a pneumatic control circuit. Pressure regulators in the Pneumatic workstation
PN-2001, to regulate the pressure of the compressed air being supplied to the pneumatic
workstation. Directional control valves will control the direction of the air through the tube going
to the cylinder that will allow the retraction and extension of the cylinder to take place. Lastly,
rubber hoses, which are essential for allowing the compressed air to flow, connecting the
directional control valves to the cylinders.
