Abstract

The technology of pneumatics has gained tremendous importance in the field of workplace rationalization and automation from old-fashioned timber works and coal mines to modern machine shops and space robots. It is therefore important that technicians and engineers should have a good knowledge of pneumatic system, air operated valves and accessories. The aim is to design and develop a control system based an intelligent electronically controlled automotive bumper activation system is called “AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC BUMPER”. This system is consisting of IR transmitter and Receiver circuit, Control Unit, Pneumatic bumper system. The IR sensor is used to detect the obstacle. There is any obstacle closer to the vehicle (within 4 feet), the control signal is given to the bumper activation system. The pneumatic bumper system is used to product the man and vehicle. This bumper activation system is only activated the vehicle speed above 40-50 km per hour. This vehicle speed is sensed by the proximity sensor and this signal is given to the control unit and pneumatic bumper activation system. Key Words: IR transmitter and Receiver circuit, Control Unit, Pneumatic bumper system, Flow control valve, Solenoid Valve, Pneumatic single acting cylinder.
