Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this module, students are expected to:
C4. Use pneumatic and/or electro-pneumatic hardware and software to develop
complex mechatronic circuitry.
C5. Conduct simulations, analyze system output and formulate conclusions using
pneumatic and/or electro-pneumatic core theories and principles.
C7. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
C8. Lead multiple groups and projects with decision making responsibilities.
Specifically,
Pressure Regulating Valves
Pressure Limiting Valves
Pressure Sequence Valve
Time Delay Valve
Direction:
1. a. Perform the simulation below:
A press-on time of 10s is required after reaching a pressure of 5bar in order for the
adhesive to take effect. The system is ready to start if the piston of the press-on
cylinder is in the retracted end position.
Additional Parameters:
• The working speed of the cylinder must be adjustable.
• The cylinder is to retract as quickly as possible.
• The cylinder positions must be monitored.
• The pressure is to be readable from a pressure gauge in front of the cylinder.
Simulation Task:
b. Design the equivalent pneumatic circuit diagram
c. Using FESTO modules simulate the circuit in the pneumatic workstation.
d. Compile the equipment list.
