Re: New Festo valve 24v?

i think we understand the cylinders, i remember last year people said SMC makes a soleniod that is better the the FESTO any thoughts? also what company do teams use to get pnuematic parts like the hose clips that go in the end of the cylinders? thanks for your help

Here's a thread with links to various parts: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=72079

We did not receive our valve either (along with some other parts), so we submitted a replacement parts request in TIMS. Our team leader said he got an automatic email back that said several teams were missing the same parts as ours so I expect we will get them shortly. Hopefully you submitted the same request (the deadline is past).

I have used SMC solenoids alot before (we used to get 2 or 3 in the KOP every year and I've bought some other ones) and was always very pleased with them. Unfortunately, both SMC and Festo Solenoids run around $80-100 apiece. The SMC part number from the '06 kit was SY3240-6HZ-X70-S, and I found it online today for $83.40. The '09 part was SY3240-5L0Z, which was 24V (the 5 after the 3240 is 24V, the 6 is 12V).

I might have to go into business. I think I have a case of 24v SMC solenoids tucked away in the robotics room.
Fundraiser anyone?:)

Re: New Festo valve 24v?

What is this wiring diagram you speak of? I'm in programming, and I think the mechanical guys hid it from me so they can always blame me:mad: !!!
I figured the solenoid hooks up to the breakout in slot 8 powered from the 24v outlet, but how do I hook up the cables to the connecter?

Thanks

PS I have the new Festo valves, and I think the leads have to be combined into one connecter. Help!!!
