Produce schematic for a lathe hydraulic copying attachment

[kinger8938]

Hi there!

Im currently towards my 2nd year of my mechanical engineering course and on one of the assignments we have been asked to produce an electrical and hydraulic schematic for a hydraulic copying attachment for a lathe. Now unfortunatly we haven't really had much tuition with this part of the course due to lecturers coming and going, its a right mess!
The assignment asks us to use software to produce these schematics but i haven't a cule how to do it and need to get it in asap!

Im an apprentice cnc miller in mechanical rngineering and don't really know why i have assignments based on this stuff but its the way the course works (or doesn't in this case)

Thanks for any advice/help given in advance

Matt!

There are many software programs available for creating electrical and hydraulic schematics. Some of the more popular ones are AutoCAD, Visio, PTC Creo, Solidworks, and Solid Edge. You can also find free programs such as Fritzing, KiCad, and Circuit Diagram. All of these programs should be able to help you create the schematics you need for your assignment. Additionally, if you search online, you can likely find tutorials on how to use each program, so you can get up to speed quickly. Good luck!
