Pneumatic control refers to the use of compressed air to operate and regulate machinery and equipment. It involves systems that convert air pressure into mechanical motion, allowing for precise control of various processes. Common applications include industrial automation, robotics, and material handling. In a pneumatic control system, components such as valves, cylinders, and actuators work together to manage airflow and pressure. This technology is valued for its simplicity, reliability, and ability to provide rapid response times, making it suitable for tasks that require quick and efficient movement.
