This is somewhat related to metalworking... And surely more related
to it than most of the @#$%^ some of you keep posting.

Thank God for Agent and it's ignore function I've finally found a way
to ignore most of those threads.

Now... That having been said, and the fact that I lost access for 2
months again and came back on a different newsreader only receiving
minimal mention, I'd like to describe a scenario I had to quote
today...

Ten 0.1562" holes drilled in thin material.

Each hole drilled by its own small drill (our 1000 series unit).

Each 1000 series unit spun and stroked by an air motor.

So far, no problem!

Challenge - The customer wants me to give him the option to start all
the drills with a single start button. The air motors must kick in
only on the downward stroke and must turn off when the drills are
stroking home (note, not when they ARE home, when they are on their
way home...)

However, the customer also wants the ability to turn off each and
every drill individually. When a drill is off, the customer does not
want the motor spinning.

Difficulty - The air motors suck up enough air that they can not be
run off the same valve as the stroke of the drill is.

We figured it out, but figured you'all might enjoy the brain teaser in
pneumatics logic.

Why is it metalworking related? Well, the 0.1562" holes, of course!
They are being drilled in aluminum with zero collant. Thankfully, the
material is 0.060" thick and the hole does not need to be burr free.

Individual electric 3 way valves. By allowing it to vent to air when turned
off the spindle should stop much faster. Add a manual valve to each OR an
individual electric switch. Switches are probably cheaper. Get fancy and
wire up a control panel with an LED for each one that is turned on in the
same array pattern as the air spindles. Don't know enough about your feed
setup, but if this is something like banks of drills with each bank
processing a single part then maybe you can have a simple mechanical
interlink between banks that allows you to not even feed those that are not
actually processing a part.

The addition of spring activated solenoid valves and a PLC make this
easier, that's for sure.

But see if you can solve it with pneumatic logic only...

If you do, I'll tell you about the more complex nine drill set-up we
had a month ago and even show you photos. :)

Perhaps lower cost & simplicity, improved reliability & serviceability.
Also only a single energy source connection.

Because the customer demands it. Logical reasons would include a
situation whree they are drilling out a container filled with hydrogen
gas and the "pneumatic" part of it is run on an inert gas, etc.

All types of other examples abound. ...Most of which are based on the
customer's preferences and not necessarily mine.

Time delay pneumatic relays, I'm not sure exactly what you call them.
We use them on certain machine resets to activate two cylinders at
different times on the same circuit. they will turn off a circuit after
a preset delay too. I assume the time of the cycle doesn't vary much so
the drills stop on the up-stroke.

Reduced noise for one. Also, the cost savings on the air might just add up.

Valve (gang valve if necessary) provides mass air to the entire assembly.
The quills are fed by a spring retracted pneumatic cylinder with some form
of control valve to control speed. A manual valve allows you to turn off
air to the feed quill piston and the spindle. When you cut main air all
engaged spindles stop turning and retract. Air pressure has to be fairly
strictly regulated once you dial it all in. Timing could be another issue.

Pneumatics isn't really my thing, and I when you say "pneumatic logic only"
I don't know how much mechanical control is allowed.

I considered explosion proof environment as a possible reason. See my other
reply. Mechanical ball valves are cheap (relatively) so simply installing a
valve to shut off all air to each spindle and quill as described in my other
reply is easy enough.

Alternatively the quill feed piston could be bidirectional and you could
employ a 3 way gang valve. When your main gang valve is engaged it feeds
air to the feed the piston and to the spindles. When the valve is reversed
it cuts air from the spindle and forces the piston to retract. Cutting air
to individual drill heads as described before still works, and if any quills
experience creep they are forced back each time the valve is reversed.
Spring assist for retraction is still an option.

We call them pneumatic timers and reverse timers.

Standard waits anywhere from nil to X before it sends air through and
reverse sends air anywhere from nil to X.

Are those the same as they had on '50s and '60s auto carburetors?
(That word brought back some deep old memories.)

Are the valved mechanisms which slow metal bandsaws during cutting
called dashpots, too? Or is there another name for those?

The items on the bandsaws are usually called "feed controls" in my
indutry. The #1 manufacturer being Deschner and their prodict is
amazingly well made.

However, Band saws usually use a much less precise and durable item
because it's just not that critical in that scenario.

The deschner product I use can handle up to 1200 lbs. of thrust if I
remember correctly. ...Not exactly something a band saw would
normally see.

If you call them for any reason, please tell them Joe from AutoDrill
sent you. I won't get anything out of it other than a cute
conversation the next time I call them.

I would have thought once set up a purely pneumatic system with no
electronics would be much more reliable.

Depends on the carb, I suspect. The SU carbs for my MGA had
dashpots to control how rapidly the venturi throat opened. It allowed
it to close quite rapidly.

I don't know at all for that. The only bandsaws which I have
experience with either have only step belt speed changes (the infamous
"$200.00 horizontal/vertical bandsaw" sometimes sold for a lot less, and
the three-wheel Emco one which I have), or the DoAll which we had at
work with a variable speed pulley assembly, plus a gearbox to give a
high range or a slow range. No dashpots involved in any of those as far
as I know.

Mostly -- a dashpot is a cylinder with a very close fitting
piston (often glass cylinder and graphite piston) with an adjustable
needle valve to control how rapidly it could move. Could have an oil,
or air as the medium. Then it is up to who put it in what as to whether
it controls valves, limit switches, or whatever else. I could even
imagine them being used in some record turntables to avoid rapidly
dropping the stylus (needle) onto the record, possibly damaging both.)
I've seen at least one model of turntable which has an arc support bar,
and a lever which starts it lowering slowly, or lifts it to a safe
height and keeps it there.

Not sure what you guys are talking about, but a buddy of mine describe a
simple slow feed for has bandsaw as an aluminum cylinder and piston with
an adjustable bleed valve. He said lots of guys were making them so the
full weight of the head wasn't resting on the blade as it fed into the
cut. Not sure I got it all, because I haven't seen it, but...

It has been my experience that fully pneumatic systems involving
timing are not as reliable as modern electronics in the typical shop
environment. The big problem is the need for dry, clean air. So often
someone forgets to clean filters or lets water enter the system or
some joker puts oil in the air thinking the system needed it. Tiny
passages get clogged and so the timing gets messed up and the speeds
of cylinder movements changes and so on. Modern electronics need no
attention by well meaning machinists and so remain trouble free for
decades. I have spent many hours cleaning and adjusting air logic
controls on CNC machines.

It is my experience - and I do a LOT of pneumatic controls - that Eric

Steve, it takes little more cash to do it with small-volume pneumatics
than to 'cobble it up' out of odds and ends.... IF your time is worth
anything, at all.

And no; "connecting all that tubing" is not time-consuming. It takes
almost zero time with push-to-connect fittings; just 'cut and stick'.

Most of what I do for actuators can be handled with either 5/32" or 1/4"
tubing. A few large bin shakers or 'power' actuators take larger sizes.

Most of the fittings for either of the small sizes are about the same
price, and pretty inexpensive compared to time.

Now, if time is all you have, then that's your resource.

You, and a few others 'round here horde this stuff. Friends share! :)

Seriosuly though, you guys who have all this surplus stuff also
obviously have space! Here, and where I live are some of the most
rural places in NJ where hot air balloons land on the lawns and fields
and horses often break free and need chasing... And yet we still
don't have nearly enough storage space for that kind of
hording...er... Collection.

I was offering up air hose.

I too am very limited on space. Ill clean it out..and fill it back
up within a very short amount of time.

My front yard now has (4) sailboats on it. The biggest being almost 26
feet long. The next shortest...21 feet long, is nearing the end of its
restoration. Ill finish painting the inside fo the cabin today and
then there will only be a couple minor things to do and I can probably
sail it this weekend.

Id love to have a full acre of fenced (dogs) land. Life would be
eversomuch simpler

If I hit the Lotto I'll buy out your neighbors' land for you so you can
hoard more stuff! I like hoarding stuff too, it all too often comes in
handy!

I'm not hoarding. I'm stockpiling or salvaging. "I keep supplies
on hand. You stockpile. They hoard."
Besides, never know when you might need on of them, whatever they
are. Or could re-purpose that collection of widgets. Hmm, maybe if
I grab a hack saw, I can not only cut those window frames loose, but
salvage the glass as well... Then I could use them and some of the
boards to make a cold frame for the garden.

I was late to class Monday because just down from where I parked,
were three screens. Very nice screen, wooden frames, well made, about
two foot by a foot and a half. Just sitting beside the garbage can.

Sort of. If you have time to unearth it, then it counts. If not
..., not.

Um, maybe then - where did you say you had it piled?

Reminds me of the person who tried to sweep out the cabin - with a
dirt floor.

Yep. That's my office manager speaking and his Staten Island, NY
accent and speed of speaking isn't really all that compatible with
Google's tools apparently.

I will say that if you switch it to Turkish, it looks fine.

Har! I especially like the part about the "nine girls I'll be running"
and the talk about the "heirs".

Kinda reminds one of BabelFish, dern't it? <g> "Oh, yes, I speak
very English!" said my Viet friend, Lien. I think Joe drifted into a
bit of a New England accent there and it messed up the translation.

I'm a J, my wife is a J, both kids are J's, my dog is a J, our
(unwanted) dog is a J. My driveway is the shape of an upside-down J
from the street... And most importantly we are doing our best to be
followers of Jesus here too.

J jones jeans and his jelly beans, let's have a song about J.

Very nice! Most of that stuff looks familiar. I bet whoever designed
the logic has a brain pain! Logic circuits take me DAYS and I have to
do it all with brute force...not intuitive to me at all!
