I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and was never taught anything like this. Now I work in manufacturing and see these components everywhere but didn’t know what they did until watching this video. Thanks a ton!
I agree with you, honestly ppl don't teach well. Most people don't know how to teach, I have been working in a factory as a trainer for the first 3 months and they never told me anything like this, until I watched this video now I understand how it works since its the same exact machine as this one!
Seriously everyone be aware guys, mechanics either don't want you to know how it works so they keep the knowledge to themselves or they don't actually know how to teach in details! Facts since I have been working in a factory for 2 months now , and we have the same exact machine and cylinder as this as well! They never taught me anything even not telling me small details about how this works.
I had no understanding of pneumatics before this video, but I feel like I understand it now. This is the best video so far that explains pneumatics to a beginner. Thank you very much!!! Please keep the good work up
When I was in school our teacher didn’t explain properly about how this works and just left us to take pictures of her work and upload it instead (our school runs on a university program) To think I’ve been missing out on something so interesting….thanks for the vid! This was really helpful and waaay easier to understand :D
Very informative video. This helps me a lot. Thankyou sir for making this video. Keep sharing and inspiring to the others. Keep up the good work. God will bless you.
I appreciate your video to learn about pnematic system but you had to mention a manual override because sometimes it can use to remove block air inside solenoid valve.
Brilliant illustration... Sparked interest in pneumatics... Q&A.. Since we need air filererd thru all those stages of FLR why then lubricate with oil at the last stage.. 🤔
Some tools require lubrication to operate. The lubricator (not required or recommended for oil-less applications) delivers a shot of atomized mist into the air going downstream everytime the upstream air overcomes the downstream air. If the area around the lubricator is contaminated, you'll want to think through how to avoid contaminants getting into the bowl/liquid while filling it back up. Otherwise, you have clean, dry air going to the tool that is now also able to automatically lubricate the tool so it operates well.
I have access to an unlimited abundance of pressurized air. What should I manufacture? In terms of profitability, what products benefit most from free manufacturing energy? Another way to phrase it, what products are the most energy intensive to manufacture? Thanks.
It depends on how much air or oil pressure you can exert on the piston of the cylinder. Meaning, take the surface area of the piston end, in square inches and multiply it by the amount of force, in PSI, then decide on loss to apply to equation.
Mechanical, but when I was a toolfitter in Ferrantis /Siemens in Manchester and starting out in "special purpose machines" in the union controlled 1970s we werent allowed to wire in solenoids and had to send for the electrician, so most of our designs nearly always used air-pilot valves( sometimes controlled by pneumatic timers) for switching the 3/2, 4/2 and 5/2 valves. In the late 80s and 90s PLCs started to take over the control of pneumatic systems as well as electronic positional sensors attached to the actuator bodies. At the same time unions didnt have the power to prevent fitters and sparks mixing trades and becoming "multiskilled " so if you were lucky you were sent on basic electrical or mechanical courses and then a PLC course (Mitsubishi, Siemens or Alan Bradley plcs). I remenber something called "Ladder Logic" and the setting of "Flags" that was used in the circuits.
It says "(something) dot com" It's an audio watermark, for stock music (like a watermark for stock photos). I listened on my TV with high volume, instead of my phone, to try and hear it. Hard to make out the first part of the audio watermark, maybe have to try headphones.
