Question
Figure 1 illustrates the application of electro-pneumatic assembly system in a factory. The
problem description, In an assembly station components are to be put together. By pressing two
pushbutton switches the device is advanced and the components are assembled. After releasing
the pushbutton switches, the device is returned to its start position.

The proper functioning of an electro-pneumatic circuit is crucial for controlled device
movement in industrial settings. When assembled, with both cylinders at the start position and
solenoid valves inactive, the system remains idle. Initiating device advancement is triggered
by pressing the first pushbutton switch, energizing the corresponding solenoid valve and
directing air to the first cylinder. Flow control valves ensure precise regulation of the cylinder's
speed during this phase. The advancement concludes when a limit switch, activated by the
device, deactivates the first solenoid valve, bringing the device to a halt. Operators then press
the first pushbutton switch in the next step, aiding smooth component assembly. Pulling this
switch de-energizes the second solenoid valve, initiating the return phase, retracting the device
to its initial position. Flow control valves carefully manage the speed during this retraction
process. The device halts at the start position during the return, triggered by another limit
switch, which de-energizes the second solenoid valve. This systematic process ensures reliable
and methodical functionality, crucial for effective assembly procedures in manufacturing
