Pneumatic technology, the full name of pneumatic transmission and control technology, is an engineering technology that uses air compressors as the power source and compressed air as the working medium for energy transmission and information transmission. Pneumatic technology is one of the most effective means of automating and mechanizing the production process. It has the advantages of high speed, high efficiency, cleanliness, safety, low cost, and easy maintenance. It is widely used in the field of light industrial machinery and is also being used in food packaging and production processes. increasingly important role.
The most typical representative of the application of pneumatic technology is industrial robots. It can replace human wrists, hands and fingers to accurately and quickly perform subtle movements such as grabbing or releasing. In addition to applications in industrial production, pneumatic technology is used in the braking devices on roller coasters in amusement parks, mechanically produced animal performances, and the interior of humanoid alarm clocks to achieve small movements.
Hydraulic pressure can produce huge output force but is not sensitive enough; on the other hand, if you want to use electrical energy to drive objects, you always need to use some gears, and at the same time, the danger caused by electric leakage cannot be ignored. In contrast, the use of pneumatic technology is safe and has no pollution to the surrounding environment. Even in a small space, small movements can be achieved. If the size is the same, its power can exceed that of the electric. The demand brought about by this characteristic is completely consistent with the semiconductor industry. On the production line, realizing small and simple actions such as moving forward, stopping, and rotating is indispensable in automation equipment. In other aspects, such as the quantitative output pump used in the resistive fluid application process, which is indispensable on the silicon wafer production line, and the peripheral machines that match this.
In addition, although pneumatic technology has been widely used in various industrial sectors, there are still considerable differences between many applications. As far as the application of pneumatic technology is concerned, the most basic condition is to have an air compressor. Where there are already air compressors used for other purposes, it is more convenient to apply pneumatic technology. This is especially true in some non-production plus T sectors, such as animal husbandry, planting or clothing industry. In the field of machinery and equipment manufacturing, there are air compressors in most situations, and pneumatic technology has been applied. Each application project also has many similarities in nature. Therefore, we can analyze the application of pneumatic technology in machinery and equipment manufacturing. Summarize and summarize the results in tabular form.
