The expansion of the application of pneumatic technology is a sign of the development of the pneumatic industry. The application of pneumatic components is mainly in two aspects: maintenance and matching. The application of domestic pneumatic components ranges from metallurgical equipment worth tens of millions of yuan to chairs with only a few hundred yuan. Specially developed domestic pneumatic elements are used in railway switches, train braking, street cleaning, hoisting equipment in special workshops, and military command vehicles.

pieces. This shows that pneumatic technology has penetrated into all walks of life and is expanding day by day. The application of pneumatic technology is mainly in:

(1) Automobile, ship and other manufacturing industries: including welding production lines, fixtures, robots, conveying equipment, assembly lines, etc.

(2) Production automation: the processing and assembly of parts on the machining production line, such as workpiece handling, indexing, positioning, testing and other processes.

(3) Certain machinery and equipment: metallurgical machinery, printing machinery, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, shoe-making machinery, plastic product production lines, and many other occasions.

(4) Electronic semiconductor and home appliance manufacturing: transportation of silicon wafers, insertion and soldering of components, assembly lines for color TVs and refrigerators, etc.

(5) Automation of packaging process: automatic measurement and packaging of powder, granular and bulk materials for fertilizers, grains, food, medicines, etc. The development and trend of many industrial and pneumatic systems for automated cigarettes and automated packaging in the tobacco industry. It is used for automatic metering and filling of viscous liquids (such as cosmetics, toothpaste, etc.) and toxic gases (such as gas, etc.).

In recent years, with the introduction of microelectronics and computer technology, the development and application of new materials, new technologies, and new processes, pneumatic components and pneumatic control technology have ushered in new development space, and are moving towards miniaturization, multi-functionalization, integration development in the direction of ization, networking and intelligence. From the perspective of various pneumatic products on the current market, the development of pneumatic components is mainly reflected in the following aspects.

After years of efforts in the development of miniaturization and high performance, most of the products of domestic enterprises have reached the level of foreign enterprises in the 1990s, and a few leading products have reached the level of contemporary foreign enterprises. The performance of pneumatic components is also rapidly improving, and the quality, accuracy, volume, reliability, etc. are all moving closer to the goals of users' needs, mainly reflecting their miniaturization, low power consumption, high speed, high precision, high output force, The development trend of high reliability and long life.
