Design and Fabrication of Pneumatic Controlled Clamping and Bending Device

Abstract

The main aim for us to select this project work is to acquire practical knowledge in the field of automation using Pneumatic system. The clamping and bending is done by the double acting cylinders which are actuated through the 5/2 way lever operated directional control valves.

      There are two cylinders are used to clamp and bend the job. One cylinder is used for clamping and another cylinder is used for bending operation. When the lever is turned, the clamping cylinder clamps the job by air pressure through the 5/2 way lever operated directional control valve and the second valve is turned the bending cylinder bends the job. Both the lever valves are turned to original position hence the both the cylinders are return to original position.
