Industrial Automation - Pneumatic Circuit Description: Sequential Operation A+ B+ A− B−
Objective:
Design a pneumatic circuit for a machine that performs the following cylinder sequence upon pressing a push button:
Sequence:
A+ → B+ → A− → B−
Sequence Explanation:
A+ (Cylinder A extends):
Upon pressing the push button, Cylinder A is actuated and moves to its extended position.
B+ (Cylinder B extends):
Once Cylinder A reaches its fully extended position (A+), Cylinder B is actuated and moves to its extended position.
A− (Cylinder A retracts):
After Cylinder B is fully extended (B+), Cylinder A retracts to its initial position.
B− (Cylinder B retracts):
Once Cylinder A is fully retracted (A−), Cylinder B retracts to its initial position.
