EXAMPLE 1
The allocating device supplies
aluminum 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.
EXAMPLE 2
The roller track is to be
swiveled by means of a double
acting cylinder.
The signals to extend and to
retract are given from separate
push buttons. The cylinder is to
remain in the position
indicated by the last signal until
an opposing signal is given.
EXAMPLE 3
A push button is to control the
forward stroke. After the piston
has reached the forward end
position, the components are to
be pressed together for five
seconds. The piston rod is to
return automatically to the
initial position.
EXAMPLE 4
Two cylinders are used to transfer parts
from a magazine onto a chute. When a
push button is pressed, cylinder 1.0
extends, pushing the part from the
magazine and positions it in
preparation for transfer by cylinder 2.0
onto the outfeed chute. Once the part
is transferred, the first cylinder retracts
followed by the second.
The speeds of both cylinders are to be
adjustable.
EXAMPLE 5
Parts are manually placed in an
embossing machine. The parts
are moved into position by a
pneumatic cylinder. A second
cylinder embosses the part and
returns. After the embossing
cylinder retracts, the feed
cylinder returns.
