Abstract
The suboptimal cushioning of pneumatic cylinders, used in glass forming machines, can cause a large proportion of defective containers to be produced. Microprocessor controls were developed to optimize adaptively cushioning of such cylinders. Two modes of control were adopted. In one mode the cylinder position is measured so that the actual piston response can be compared with an idealized response, while in the other, back pressure is analysed and used as a measure of cushioning. For both modes, control algorithms were developed to provide adaptive control of piston responses. The control strategy adopted could find general application in controlling pneumatic cylinders.
