FT Pneumatics Part Positioning Model |
|
| This model uses pneumatics to move a part from one position to another. A large cylinder is used to operate the gripper arm. Another large cylinder is used to rotate the arm from the front to the back through a linear to rotary mechanism. | |

| The linear to rotary mechanism using rack and gear. | |

| Note: The nozzle of the solenoid valve is too large for the FT plastic tubing. So a white tubing adapter has to be used in between. | |
