Re: Seeking SMC Pneumatics Advice
We don't use the manifold mounted valves because we always want to mount the valves as close as possible to the cylinder they are connected too. This is so we save as much air as possible.
You loose all the air in the hose running to the cylinder from the valve and this can amount to a significant amount of air. We want to have our compressor run as little as possible.
I really wish FIRST would dump the whole CV thing, try and find the actual CV rating of a valve?
