The most typical representative of the application of pneumatic technology is the industrial robot. Instead of human wrists, hands and fingers, they can correctly and quickly do subtle movements such as grasping or releasing. In addition to industrial applications, the brakes on roller coasters in amusement parks, mechanical production of animal shows, and the interior of humanoid chimes, all use pneumatic technology to realize small movements.
Hydraulic pressure can get a huge output force but not sensitive enough; on the other hand, to use electrical energy to drive the object, there is always a need to use some gears, and at the same time, you can't ignore the dangers posed by leakage. In contrast, the use of pneumatic technology that is safe and non-polluting to the surrounding environment, even in a very small space, but also to achieve small movements. If the size is the same, the power can be more than electrical. The semiconductor industry is in perfect harmony with the needs created by this feature. On production lines, the realization of small and simple movements such as advancing, stopping, and rotating is indispensable in automation equipment. In addition, the quantitative output pumps and peripheral equipment used in the resistive liquid coating process, which is indispensable for silicon wafer manufacturing lines, are also used.
In addition, although pneumatic technology has been widely used in various industrial sectors, there are still considerable differences between many applications. In terms of the application of pneumatic technology, the most basic condition is to have an air compressor, to have been used for other purposes of the air compressor place, the application of pneumatic technology is more convenient. Especially in - some non-production plus T sector, such as animal husbandry, planting or garment industry, the situation is more so. In the field of machine and equipment manufacturing, most of the occasions there are air compressors, and pneumatic technology has been applied, each application project in essence, there are many similarities, therefore, we can machine and equipment manufacturing in the application of pneumatic technology can be summarized in the end, and listed in the form of a table.
