This video presents a complete and in-depth overview of the pneumatic system design and simulation using FluidSIM, developed by Team P4AJ (Putra Ramadhan, Pandji Setya, Perdiansyah, Ade Saputra, and Judithia).
The project is part of the Automation Systems coursework and is designed to enhance students’ understanding of pneumatic circuits, actuator control, signal logic, and industrial automation processes.
🔧 1. System Requirement Analysis & Component Selection
The project begins with identifying the operational needs of the pneumatic system.
The team analyzed:
the required actuator motion and cycle pattern,
types of cylinders and valves suited for the task,
air preparation components such as filters, regulators, and lubricators,
and the control logic needed to support the full sequence.
Each component was chosen based on performance characteristics, efficiency, and compatibility with industrial pneumatic standards.
⚙️ 2. Designing the Pneumatic Circuit in FluidSIM
Using FluidSIM, the team constructed a complete pneumatic schematic showing all functional connections:
directional control valves,
actuators and cylinders,
pressure regulators,
flow control valves,
and signal lines.
The design prioritizes clarity, safety, flow logic, and the correct representation of standard pneumatic symbols. The layout also follows good engineering practices, ensuring the circuit is easy to read and troubleshoot.
🚀 3. Simulation, Testing & Refinement
After designing the circuit, the team conducted a series of simulations to evaluate the system’s performance.
Testing included:
cylinder extension and retraction timing,
pressure consistency during operation,
valve switching accuracy,
behavior of flow-controlled movements,
and verification of the full working cycle.
Issues discovered during gameplay simulation—such as delayed movement or incorrect sequencing—were fixed through iterative adjustments. This trial-and-error approach strengthened the team’s understanding of pneumatic behavior.
📊 4. Functional Explanation & Technical Breakdown
The video also includes clear explanations of how each component interacts in the system, covering:
how control signals activate the valves,
how air pressure flows through each stage of the process,
how timing and sequence affect actuator behavior,
and the engineering reasoning behind the chosen configuration.
The goal is to help viewers understand not only what the circuit does, but also why it functions that way from an automation engineering perspective.
