Ongoing Technical Project Description

The Technical project IEEE is currently working on is for an air bustling system for printing presses at a nearby company and will allow the controller to adjust the airflow pressure underneath the paper, producing better print quality.
So far the control console is finished.  However, the originally proposed electrically operated positional sensors proved to be too costly and we are currently investigating pneumatic device alternatives to move the linear

actuators (positional controls for the air nozzles). 
The finished design will allow the operator to save time and enable control of the press from a single location yielding an increase in production and time spent making adjustments.
Currently, each time the operator needs to make an adjustment, it must be done manually by climbing a ladder near the press and adjusting it. 
Our design, if implemented, 

will greatly decrease the time spent  making adjustments and also will enable the company to increase production.
The current members of the project are  Mike Muller, Max Magnell and Scott Newby.
