Abstract

This thesis presents a study of developing a low pressure water hydraulic system. This study mainly focuses on building up a water hydraulic power unit, design and assembles a low pressure water hydraulic testing system and performs the testing procedures to testing system. The ultimate goal of this project is to apply the low pressure water hydraulic system into an existing Pick and Place Robot. The combination of water hydraulic application and pneumatic application will be shown in the robot. Water hydraulic system is not so common in industries sector compare to pneumatic system and oil hydraulic system. This study may help to explore the limitation of water hydraulic system and the countermeasure to solve the occurred problems. A testing system was designed and simulated by using Automation Studio 5.0. From the simulation, the motion of cylinder was shown. This can help in assembling the testing system correctly and help in time efficiency. Several tests were done with the aid of the stated testing system. These tests are focused on the actuator of the system, which is a double acting cylinder. The performance of system was tested in term of breakaway pressure, internal leakages, speed of stroke and output force. The results were recorded and analyzed to verify the ability of low pressure water hydraulic system. As a result, low pressure water hydraulic system is applicable. However, improvements are needed to make the system more suitable and efficient.
