Industrial applications use solenoid valves to control the flow of gases or fluids such as air, oil or water. Solenoids can change a valve from open to closed using an electromagnetic coil, allowing for precision flow control.
Automatic tool changing is simply the fastest way to manipulate multiple tool options on a single production machine. As technology advances at an ever-faster rate, production capacity grows, and human beings are not always able to keep up.
The two most likely causes for a pneumatic cylinder to stick or jam are contamination and misalignment. If the piston gets stuck in the middle of its stroke and doesn't complete the full extension or retraction, it can lead to major problems.
Machine vision is an advanced technology that allows a computer to collect, analyse and interpret visual data. This data can be acquired from cameras, digital images or videos and is used in industrial automation to enhance decision-making.
If you decide to add or amend a program for your PLC, you'll need to be sure that it will perform its function without fault and integrate seamlessly into your system.
PLC, modular PLC or compact PLC. Everyone has their own favourite, and there are advantages in programming that might determine which type you choose.
The most common types of pneumatic actuation for industrial applications are single- or double-acting pneumatic cylinders. If you compare the way they work, the main design difference is the number of air inlet ports.
Manufacturing has undergone extraordinary change over the past few centuries. What began as manual labour in small workshops has transformed into a globally integrated, highly automated ecosystem powered by digital technology and real-time data.
