A compressor is an electronic
machine used to compress air or other gases. It converts a gas into
liquid state by putting substantial pressure on the gas and thus
permits heat to be either added or removed. Compressors are
generally used in heat pumps and air conditioners. The two important
types of compressors are:

Electronic Industrial Machines
include those computerised devices that are used in manufacturing
industries for handling complex, heavy and hazardous jobs which were
earlier performed by human beings. Usage of these machines have made
these complex tasks easier, reduced incedence of error drastically,
facilitated error detection and lessened the dangers involved to
human labor especially in industries like die casting, forging and
spot welding. They are being widely used in automotive, diecasting,
welding, forging, spray painting and palletizing industries. The
various types of electronic industrial machines are:

Hydraulic system is a mechanism
in, which the machines are operated under high pressures developed
by a fluid, most often water. Hydraulic system is applied in many
fields like agriculture, mining, construction, automobile
engineering, power plants and textile industries. A hydraulic system
is composed of a reservoir, pump, filter (for cleaning the fluid),
selector valve (for controlling the direction of flow of the
fluids), a relief valve (for easing excess pressure) and an
actuator. The various electrical components used in a hydraulic
system are:

Casting is the production process
involving molten metals to be poured into the molds and then they
are dried and solidified. The solid metal is then extracted and is
properly cleaned and finished. Casting is used for molding a variety
of things like decorative pieces, materials used in building and
construction and parts of various machines and electronic devices.
The different types of machines used for this purpose are:

Cleaning equipment are devices
that are used in various industries for washing, degreasing and
removing impurities or dirt through brushes, blowers, and vacuum
cleaners. Cleaning is very important in the industries as it is very
important to save the products manufactured from dirt, grease or any
other kind of impurity that gets accumulated on them. These
activities are performed using various devices such as

Industrial heating and cooling
equipments are devices that are used for various purposes like for
transferring heat from one fluid to the other, absorbing heat from
the surface of various devices, decreasing the temperature and
humidity of the surroundings, heating water or other fluids under
pressure and for drying. These equipments are used in most of the
industries. The different types of heating and cooling equipment
equipments are

|
Industrial machine tools are used
for different functions like for processing of wires, coil
processing, welding, smoothening, cutting and grinding the different
materials used in different industrial operations. The various types
of industrial machine tools are

|
|
The industrial manufacturing
materials consist of various items that are used in making,
insulating and fixing various goods manufactured in different
industries. These materials can be made up of metals, plastic,
ceramic, graphite, quartz, wood etc. The different types of
industrial manufacturing materials are

The material handling and
processing equipment includes those equipments that are used for
moving a material from one place to the other, handling it
carefully, giving good finish to the item and storing it. These
equipments include:

Motor is an electronic device
that helps in transforming electrical energy into mechanical energy
or energy generated by compressed air into motion. This device
consists of a number of coils of wire that keep on rotating and are
operated by a magnetic force created by a magnetic field. Important
parts of a motor are armature or rotor, commutator, brushes, axle,
field magnet and a power supply. The different components and
accessories used with motors are commutators, motor brakes, motor
clutches, motor controllers, motor drives, motor gears and motor
pumps. The most commonly used motors are:

The packaging machines as the
name suggests are machines that are used in packing the finished
goods manufactured in various industries by sealing, cartoning,
batching, collating, wrapping, bundling, etc. These goods are packed
in order to save them from getting damaged or destroyed. The various
types of packaging machines can be classified according to the
different uses they are put in to like:

Pneumatic system operates by
using gas, which is compressed under very high pressure. This
compressed gas is held in a special tank from where some gas is
released into the expandable chamber that has a rod, so that when
the gas expands the rod moves outward. Gas is an important part of
the pneumatic system, which is compressed to create pressure. This
gas is stored in a tank. All these tanks consist of a burst valve so
that they can bear immense pressure. These burst valves open up when
the pressure increases and blow the gas out slowly so that the tank
does not explode due to excess pressure. Regulators are fitted on
top of the tank and their main function is to hold excess air back
and only allow reasonable amount to pass through in order to make
the pneumatic system reach the optimum operating pressure level. The
different components of pneumatic system are:

Pumps are devices that are used
for moving any liquid from low-pressure area to high-pressure area.
The pumps apply mechanical force for pushing the liquid up. This
mechanical force can be applied either by physically applying
pressure or by application of the force of compression. Pumps are
powered by various devices such as internal combustion engine,
electric motor, wind power, solar power and also manually (hand
pump). They are used for many important purposes like for
irrigation, water supply, gasoline supply, in air conditioners,
refrigerators, sewage control, in floods, marine services etc.
Depending upon the uses, pumps are available in a large number of
shapes and sizes. There is a diverse range of pumps available
according to the various applications like:

Valve is a device that is used
for controlling the free flow of a fluid through an inlet or outlet.
A simple valve is capable of controlling the pressure, direction and
the rate of flow of a fluid. Valves can also be used to regulate the
flow of air or distribution of water. Generally all the valves
consist of the following parts Inlet, Orifice, Plug or Seal and
Outlet. The inlet and outlet of a valve are also known as ports.
Valves can be either mechanically operated or through an electric
signal. There are many types of valves based on the functions
performed by them like:
