Your role includes the design of the automated line which includes Electro, Pneumatic and Hydraulic systems and devices. You have been provided with circuit requirements but no other information regarding the operation of the systems. You need to create designs for them and prove their feasibility by using fluid power principles. Activity 1 A lid is required to allow parts to be added and removed from a furnace for heat treatment. Your circuit needs to be electro-hydraulically operated by two buttons (one up / one down). One press of a button will fully open or close the lid. The gauge pressure in the system is (P) bar. The area of the piston is (A) cm². Calculate the maximum mass of the lid that may be moved. You must provide the following information: - Fluid power principle calculations (including workings out) involving fluid pressure Figure 1: Hydraulically operated furnace lid THIS SHEET MUST BE RETURNED WITH THE COMPLETED WORK Page 2 of 6 No 1 2 3 4 5 C D E F G 6 H | 8 J 9 K 10 L 11 M 12 N 13 O Surname please Choose N Row 67 P Q RS S T U V W X Y Z A B Pressure Area (P) (A) bar 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 cm² 15 14 17 18 22 19 16 21 20 15 14 17 18 OAKLANDS COLLEGE THIS SHEET MUST BE RETURNED WITH THE COMPLETED WORK Page 3 of 6 Activity 2 Produce a circuit for the following scenario. You must provide the following information: - Fluid power principle calculations (including workings) (i) OAKLANDS COLLEGE Stacking magazine station A stacking magazine station contains a double acting cylinder with 2 limit switches and 100 mm stroke that moves a lid from the stacked area onto a base. A single acting cylinder with a stroke of 50 mm then presses the lid onto the base. Produce a pneumatic circuit schematic of this system in FluidSim-P. (ii) A compressor is connected to the stacking magazine station with a rated free air delivery of (Q) m³ / min (measured at (T1) °C and (P1) bar) and absolute pressure of P2. Answer the following questions: gas laws and fluid flow (iii) What is the compression ratio needed to produce the specified pressure? What is the largest force that may be applied by the single acting cylinder if its piston diameter is (D) mm? To extend the cylinder, the compressor delivers air at an absolute pressure of (P2) bar and temperature of (T2) °C. What is the output flow rate from the compressor?
