Answer:
The attached figure shows the hydraulic circuit using one sequence valve to control two simultaneous operations performed in proper sequence in one direction only. In the other direction, both the operations are simultaneous.
When we keep the 4/2 DCV in crossed arrow position, oil under pressure is supplied to the inlet port of the sequence valve. It directly flows to Head end port-1. Hence Cylinder 'C1' extends first.
By the end of the extension of cylinder 'C1', pressure in the line increases and hence poppet of sequence valve is lifted off from its seat and allows oil to flow to port-2 and hence, Cylinder 'C2 extends completing the pressing operation.
In the straight-arrow position of 4/2 DCV the oil under pressure reaches the rod end of both the cylinders C1 and C2 simultaneously through port-3. This causes both the cylinders to retract simultaneously.
Also, a Flow control valve is provided tho control the velocity of clamping
