Servopneumatics
From FestoWiki - english
Mode of operation
- Compressed air is guided into a cylinder.
- The compressed air displaces the piston in the cylinder
- A linear position encoder is installed parallel to the cylinder, and pressure sensors are installed in the two proportional valve chambers.
- The position of the piston can be controlled using the position encoder and the pressure sensors.
- This is how positioning tasks can also be carried out using pneumatics.
