Design and Analysis of Automated Pneumatic Vice using Compressed Air

Abstract Pneumatic systems are safer than electromotive systems because they can work in inflammable environment without causing fire or explosion. Apart from that, overloading in pneumatic system will only lead to sliding or cessation of operation. Unlike electromotive components, pneumatic components do not burn or get overheated when overloaded. The operation of pneumatic systems does not produce pollutants. The air released is also processed in special ways. Therefore, pneumatic systems can work in environments that demand high level of cleanliness. One example is the production lines of integrated circuits. Keyword Compressor, Direction control valve, Double acting cylinder, Batch vice, Pneumatic pipe, Auto cad.
