Pneumatic automatic control technology is a type of industrial automation technology and a low-cost automation solution. It refers to an automation technology that uses compressed air as the working medium for transmitting power or signals , in conjunction with the main pneumatic components of the pneumatic control system , and integrates mechanical , hydraulic , electrical , and electronic components into a control loop. This allows the pneumatic components to automatically operate according to the working conditions required by the production process, following a set sequence or conditions.
The pneumatic automatic control system mainly consists of an air source, air source processing components, control components, and actuators. It possesses the following four characteristics: continuously enhanced functionality, continuously reduced size, modularity and integration, intelligent pneumatics, and complete system supply.
Meanwhile, the advantages of pneumatic automation, such as speed, safety, reliability, and low cost, are recognized by industrial automation companies and are widely used, achieving the following economic benefits:
(1) Increase production speed, increase output, and increase product added value.
(2) Reduce product scrap rate, lower product cost, and improve product quality.
(3) Improve the accuracy of management.
(4) Improve the utilization rate of production equipment, increase the utilization rate of materials, and reduce losses.
(5) Reduce the demand for skilled workers, reduce employee training time and save factory money.
(6) Increase the employment rate of people with disabilities and improve social security.
