Pneumatic systems are a technology that uses compressed air to provide power for various industrial processes. Many sectors rely on pneumatic systems, including automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, and manufacturing.
Pneumatic systems are often used in a variety of applications. They can power industrial tools such as actuated valves and robot arms.
Pneumatic Packaging
Pneumatic packaging is a type of packaging that uses compressed air to inflate and seal the package. This type of packaging is used when the product needs to be protected from high pressure or moisture. Moreover, it can also use for things that need to be stored for long periods.
Pneumatic packaging is widely used in the food industry. The main advantage of using pneumatic systems is that it reduces the need for manual labor and increases production speed. The automation also helps with quality control by monitoring pressure, fill rates, and other parameters.
The package protects from shock and vibration during transport. Pneumatic packaging saves space because it does not use any cushioning material, unlike other packaging such as cardboard boxes or foam peanuts.
Pneumatic Filling
The pneumatic filling is a process used to produce beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The process involves using compressed air to inject the beverage into the container.
There are two types of pneumatic filling machines: single-head and multi-head. The single-head pneumatic filling machines are usually used for small production lines, while the multi-head ones are more common for higher production volumes.
Pneumatic Metering
Pneumatic Metering is a system that regulates the air pressure in space to control flow. It enables precise control over gas flow speed, volume, and pressure.
For example, A spool is a cylindrical part that can open and close ports by moving axially inside the bore of a valve. And the flow rate is set by getting information about where the spool is. Moreover, the position of the spool in the direction of a directional control valve can be precisely regulated.
Pneumatic Locking
Pneumatic locking is a mechanical device that uses pneumatic pressure to provide the clamping force. It is one of the most common locks used in the automation industry. Pneumatic locking systems are simple, dependable, and efficient.
Locking mechanisms are a crucial part of machinery and equipment. The locking mechanism is used to secure the moving parts of a machine so that they do not move unintentionally.
Pneumatic locks are very different from other types of locking systems. They work by using compressed air to create a differential in pressure between the inside and outside of the lock, which causes a piston or other operating member to move and actuate an internal mechanism.
Pneumatic Conveying
Pneumatic conveying uses compressed gas or air to move bulk materials quickly and efficiently. The process of pneumatic conveying is linear and uses the force of compressed air to move the material from one process to another.
Pneumatic Transfer systems are effective for material handling in factories and warehouses. They also have a high transfer rate, meaning they can move large volumes of materials in a specific period.
Pneumatic Sorting of Parts
Pneumatic sorting of parts is a method of sorting and classifying objects by size, shape, and weight. It’s widely used in factory automation and uses air pressure to push objects through the sorting machine.
But it can’t be used as a sensor because there is no way that Pneumatics can be used to detect objects.
Pneumatic Clamping
Pneumatic clamping is a tool used in the manufacturing industry. It is a type of clamping that uses air pressure to hold down or squeeze an object or material.
The pneumatic clamping system has many advantages over other types of clamps, such as providing a large amount of force with minimal effort. They are also durable and faster. This type of clamp is often used in the manufacturing industry because it can be easily customized for various sizes and shapes of materials.
Pneumatic Positioning
Pneumatic positioning is a type of technology developed to automate assembling and installing pipes, valves, fittings, and other components. It is typically used to position objects in automated machinery.
The force of the piston pushes against the load. So, sensors can measure the force by detecting changes in position or torque on the axis.
