7. Exercise 1Feeding Workpieces from a Gravity Feed Magazine New Components: • 3/2-Way Valve • Single Acting Cylinder • Service Unit

12. Exercise 1Feeding Workpieces from a Gravity Feed Magazine Problem Description: • Using a single cylinder, workpieces are to be feed into a jig from a gravity magazine. • The piston rod is to extend when a pushbutton is pressed and return to the start position when the push button is released.

13. Exercise 1 Answer

14. Exercise 2Removal of Heavy Workpieces from a Gravity Feed Magazine New Components: • 5/2-Way Valve • Double Acting Cylinder

18. Exercise 2Removal of Heavy Workpieces from a Gravity Feed Magazine Problem Description: • Using a double acting cylinder, Heavy workpieces are to be feed into a jig from a gravity magazine. • The piston rod extends when a selector switch is returned to its original position.

19. Exercise 2 Answer

20. Exercise 3Removal of Bushings From Steel Blocks New Concept: • Indirect Control • Direct Control

23. Exercise 3Removal of Bushings from Steel Blocks Problem Description: • Press fit bushings are to be removed from steel blocks using a double acting cylinder. • The start signal is to be given using a push button: When the push button is released, the cylinder returns to its initial position.

24. Exercise 3 Answer

25. Exercise 4 Distribution of Crates New Concept: • Memory Control System

26. Circuit Diagram: Memory Control

27. Exercise 4 Distribution of Crates Problem Description: • 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.

28. Exercise 4 Answer

29. Exercise 5 Transfer of a Part New component: • Roller Levers

31. Exercise 5 Transfer of a Part Project Description: • Using a double acting cylinder, a part is t be moved from one roller track to another, as part of a material handling operation. • The operation is to be started used a push button. An acknowledgment signal is required when the piston is fully extended to ensure that the part has been transferred. • The return stroke is to be automatic.

32. Exercise 5 Answer

33. Exercise 6 Parts Feeding New component: • Non Return Valves • Shuttle Valve • Dual Pressure Valve • Flow Controls • Metering In/Out

39. Metering In Metering OUT

40. Exercise 6 Parts Feeding Problem Description: • Production parts are moving an actuator away from a gravity feed magazine toward an assembly device • Two push buttons are to be incorporated in the circuit. When either of these is actuated, parts are to be feed. • The return stroke is initiated by the actuator after it reaches the end of the forward rotation. • The forward and return strokes are to be adjustable.
