Where to use compressed air in the workshop

The application range of compressed air in the workshop is very wide, covering almost all aspects of workshop production and maintenance. The following are the main applications of compressed air in the workshop:

1. Drive pneumatic tools and equipment

  • Pneumatic wrench, pneumatic screwdriver, pneumatic drill, pneumatic grinder, etc.: These tools are widely used in assembly, disassembly, drilling, grinding and other operations. The compressed air provides them with a power source without power connection and is flexible and convenient to use.
  • Pneumatic fixtures: Used for clamping and positioning of workpieces to ensure machining accuracy and efficiency.
  • Pneumatic conveyor equipment: such as pneumatic conveyor belts, used for material handling and transportation, and improve production efficiency.

2. Automated control and signal transmission

  • Pneumatic control system: Through components such as cylinders, pneumatic valves, etc., the equipment can be automated control and actions, such as workpiece handling and assembly on the automated production line.
  • Pneumatic sensors and switches: Used to detect the status and position of the equipment, transmit signals to the control system, and achieve precise control.

3. Production process

  • Metal processing: such as surface treatment processes such as sand blasting and painting, use compressed air to spray sand particles, paint, etc. onto the surface of the workpiece to achieve the purpose of cleaning and coating.
  • Plastic molding: In injection molding machines, blow molding machines and other equipment, compressed air is used to drive the opening and closing of molds, conveying raw materials, etc.
  • Welding and Cutting: In certain special welding and cutting processes, compressed air acts as an auxiliary gas to help improve welding quality and cutting efficiency.

4. Cleaning and Purge

  • Equipment Cleaning: Use compressed air to purge dust, chips and other debris on the surface and inside of the equipment to keep the equipment clean and operate normally.
  • Pipe Purge: Use compressed air to purge residues or dust in pipes and containers during equipment installation and maintenance to ensure smooth pipesUnobstructed.

5. Test and Test

  • Stress Test and Test: Use compressed air to pressure test equipment and pipelines to check their sealing properties and pressure bearing capacity.
  • Pneumatic instruments and sensors: used to monitor and record pressure, flow and other parameters in the workshop, providing a basis for the control and optimization of the production process.

6. Other Applications

  • Pneumatic Cooling and Drying: In certain special processes, compressed air is used to cool and dry the equipment and workpieces.
  • Pneumatic lifting and lifting: Equipment such as pneumatic hoists, pneumatic elevators, etc., uses compressed air to lift and lift heavy objects.

In summary, the application range of workshop compressed air is very wide, covering almost all aspects of workshop production and maintenance. It not only provides a power source for various pneumatic tools and equipment, but also plays an important role in automated control, production process, cleaning and purge, testing and testing.
