A FLUIDIC POINT-TO-POINT NUMERICAL CONTROL A SYSTEM

R HARIHARAN, N V G K BHAT

Abstract


Fluidics can eliminate many fluid/nonfiuid interfaces and perform operations like sensing, power actuation and sequencing, hitherto done by electronic components. Fluidic components contain no moving parts; hence have reduced wear and maintenance problems. They operate satisfactorily in adverse environmental conditions of liberation, temperature, etc.This paper reports the development of a fluidic numerical control positioning system using mainly fluidic NOR gates. The different fluidic schemes for encoder, decoder, counter and display are described in detail.
