Boxes (or certain production parts) are moved by a double-acting cylinder away from a gravity-feed magazine towards an assembly device. A push button and a pedal switch are to be incorporated in the circuit. The cylinder is to move out when either of these is actuated. The return stroke is actuated by the cylinder rod after it reaches the end of the forward stroke.
Draw the pneumatic circuit diagram using ISO symbols and connecting the ports with solid lines.
The reversing motor,which is controlled by two power relays,can be rotated in both directions as shown in the figure beiow.When the motor is mechanically combined with a lead screw,the rotary motion is converted to a linear one,such as the one moving lef tor right on the worktable in the layout.The desired direction of rotation is selected via the two STAFIT buttons,respectively.The limit switches LS1 and LS2,located at the two extreme motion limits,ensure 1-rqtf we forget to stop the movement of the worktable,then it will stop automatically, and the mechanism of the layout will not be destroyed.Draw the circuit of automation.

- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the lower floor. When the UP push button is pressed, the platform rises. When the platform reaches the upper floor, however, the pump does not turn off but continues to run until the overload relay opens the overload contacts. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. The solenoid valve opened when limit switch LS1 opened. b. The UP push button is shorted. c. Limit switch LS1 did not open its contacts. d. Limit switch LS2 contacts did not reclose when the platform began to rise.arrow_forwardRefer to Figure 21–1 to answer the following questions. In what position must switch SW 123 be set to make connection between terminals 3 and 4?arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 7-10.
