Pnaumatic System
Pneumatic comes from the Greek which consists of pneau which means compressed air and matic which means science. So in terms of pneumatic is a system that is used to move or move an object by using the wind as a source of energy.

Pneumatic System Components
1. Compressor
Compressore is used to suck air in the atmosphere and compress it in the compressor to a certain pressure then drain it into the compression system through a pipe or hose and enter the pneumatic system.
2. Bulk Liquid Separator Or Dryer
Bulk Liquid Separator or Dryer is a part that functions to separate air from liquid so that the air entering the system is truly pure air. The way a Bulk Liquid Separator or Dryer works is by utilizing centrifugal force, namely the air rotates in a tube-shaped section so that the liquid will drop to the bottom and pure air or dry air will come out separately from the liquid.
3. Filter
The filter serves to filter out dust and dirt in the air so that dust or dirt does not enter the system which will potentially clog moving parts.
4. Regulator
The regulator functions to regulate the air pressure that will enter the system, so the air pressure entering the system can be adjusted to the pressure needs. The way the regulator works is to use a spring in the regulator where the spring is regulated from a knob that can be adjusted according to the needs of wind pressure. The spring itself functions like a valve. Usually the regulator is also equipped with a manometer so that the user knows how much wind pressure enters the system. The higher the pressure, the greater the force generated, and vice versa.
5. Lubricator
Lubricator serves to mix or add lubricating oil into the air. This lubricating oil serves to lubricate the moving or rotating parts in the system so as to reduce the friction that occurs in pneumatic tools.
6. Directional Control Valve Or Selenoid Valve
Directional Control Valve or Selenoid Valve is an air flow control valve, inside this flow control valve there are ports or holes that will regulate air flow to the actuator which will later regulate the direction of movement of the actuator itself.
7. PLC Or Machine Control
PLC functions to regulate the movement of the solenoid valve. The way the PLC works is to provide current to the control valve so that the motor inside the solenoid valve can move forward or backward according to the needs we want.
8. Actuator
The actuator or cylinder functions to change the compressive force of the air into motion (in the example image the movement is back and forward).
