Principle of intelligent locator
Thread Content
I’m looking for an explanation of the working principle of an intelligent locator; one with animations would be even better. Also: Does the locator emit gas when it is working properly? Why?
The principle classifications of intelligent positioners include nozzle baffles and piezoelectric valves. For the specific type of wine you are working with, download its manual – there is always a section featuring a functional block diagram that explains how the intelligent positioner operates
Does it release air when in operation? Does the locator have an air vent?
Generally, exhaust is performed; the gas inside the mold head needs to be removed.
Just do a search online and you’ll find out; the locator has nozzle baffles, which move during exhaust to achieve balance inside the valve diaphragm head, thereby enabling proper positioning
Of course. How does it work without exhaust? As the piston in the cylinder moves, the air chambers on both sides naturally change, with one taking in air and the other expelling it. If it is double-acting, the exhaust ports are all in the actuator. In the case of a single-acting type, the spring-side exhaust port is located on the cylinder, while the other one is on the actuator
Air is exhausted during operation, as there are exhaust vents. There are two principles for actuators: one uses a nozzle and baffle mechanism; you can download the manual for Yamatake AVP to learn more about this. The other principle involves piezoelectric valves, and you can download the manual for Siemens 6DR5010 for details on this approach.
