Abstract
The invention is directed to a compressed air control apparatus for supplying compressed air to a pneumatic actuator, which includes a compressor having a head member with a pressure chamber defined therein for generating compressed air, an intake valve for introducing air into the pressure chamber, and a discharge valve for discharging the compressed air. A dryer is disposed in a dry housing to dry the compressed air discharged from the compressor. A supply solenoid valve is disposed in a supply valve housing to control the compressed air supplied to the pneumatic actuator. An exhaust solenoid valve is disposed in an exhaust valve housing to control the compressed air discharged from the pneumatic actuator. The head member, dry housing, supply valve housing and exhaust valve housing are integrally formed by synthetic resin to provide an integral housing.
