Abstract: Pneumatic systems are widely used in industrial applications such as palletising, labelling, embossing, material transfer, turning and inverting parts, packaging, and end of the line inspection. This study builds a test rig to examine how input parameters, such as pressure, cylinder orientation, flow control valve setting, and load magnitude, and the interactions between them affect the stopping accuracy and response time of a double-acting, single-rod pneumatic cylinder. The inquiry collects and analyses data using the Design of Experiments (DOE) technique. The best stopping accuracy and response time is achieved by tweaking the pressures at blank end and rod end definitely, but they are not the sole factors determining the stopping accuracy and response time. Rightly manipulating the flow control valve setting which control the amount of air exiting the cylinder, weight of attached loads and cylinder orientations also influence the stopping accuracy and response time significantly. This study acts as a guideline on how to improve stopping accuracy and response time without the intervention of expensive linear and nonlinear control system techniques for low-cost automation industries. The results show that the horizontal orientation of the pneumatic cylinder provides the best stopping accuracy of 9 mm at a response time of 2.29 seconds at higher pressures settings in the test rig. Furthermore, the best stopping accuracy and response time for each orientation of cylinder, is presented along with respective pressure and flow control valve settings. The experimental results are subjected to the boundary conditions of the developed test rig. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
