The world is spinning at a very fast rate, not literally but from a technological viewpoint. Every now and then, there is some new research and some new invention that takes place that changes the way the way our industries work and that either directly or indirectly impacts our lives. Pneumatic equipment has infiltrated every industry including the DIY one. These tools have numerous advantages and win hands down against tools that have been built with any other technology. They offer more efficiency, an improved output and are fast and to a large extent, error-free. This has helped in increasing the productivity and profitability of the industries that use them.

The most outstanding feature of pneumatic equipment is its simplicity. The simple concept of compressed air is used to work on simple and difficult tasks and the machinery that is used is very simple as well. There are other industrial systems that can complete similar tasks but they have very complex features and their operation is very complicated as well. Whilst some have very small and troublesome moving parts others require extensive wiring. Pneumatic systems ...
... have standard cylinders and components that can be acquired from any reputed manufacturer from across the globe. There is standard equipment for common uses while custom-made equipment can be requisitioned as per your need and application.

Pneumatic systems are very easy to operate and they are simple “on-off”. They rarely work on control sequences that are technically complicated. Use of mechanical equipment necessitates that the operators undergo extensive theoretical and hands-on training to acquire a certain amount of skill and expertise. On the contrary, pneumatic systems, even the slightly more intricate ones that use miniature robotic components are easy to operate. Workers do not need to undergo weeks and months of training and simple briefing sessions are more than enough for them to gain an understanding of how they work.

All this equipment is relatively low maintenance and extensive replacement or repair is not necessitated. Though compressed air is powerful as far as its output is concerned, the impact that it has on the working parts is very minimal. It is interesting to note that the compression that adds power to the gases also lends shock absorbency to these tools thus minimizing the wear and tear that takes place in more conventional mechanical equipment.

Another very evident advantage of pneumatic tools is that they can be built to hold large reservoirs of compressed gases. These come handy in the event of power outages and the project can continue unhindered while power restoration work is in progress. This feature is very relevant in areas that are prone to power outages and specifically those that deal with perishable goods such as baked products. They prevent losses that might otherwise occur if the production process has to be suddenly halted. Pneumatic tools are far safer than mechanical or hydraulic ones.

The hydraulic oils that are used in hydraulic equipment are highly inflammable and thus a fire hazard. In contrast, the inert gases that are used pneumatic tools that use miniature robotic components as well as those used in larger industries, are not inflammable and consequently a safer option as well. Pneumatics and its many advantages has transformed the way industries across the world operate.
