This paper is concerned with the problems of position-controlled pneumatic servo drive. The position control is designed using low-cost two position solenoid valves in place of costly proportional valve. Continuous positioning can be made with servo/proportional valve, but the cost of the servo/proportional valve is relatively very high. This project aims at developing a low cost, efficient and accurate position control system for pneumatic actuators eliminating servo /proportional valves, thereby reducing the cost. Here a simple on/off valve with electronic Arduino controller is used to overcome the cost effective problem. The control methods based on simply on/off control algorithm and on pulse-width-modulation (PWM) algorithm using Arduino UNO microcontroller. To develop a servo pneumatic hybrid actuator for position control with fast response, large stroke and high accuracy (through lead screw arrangement).

Pneumatic, Multi position control, Hybrid control, On/Off solenoid and PWM control.
