Re: Shooter Problem

"Our circular (90) degree shooter uses and AM pneumatic 7.5 inch wheel with a 32 tooth sprocket on it and a 25 tooth sprocket on the CIM. This puppy will hit the top of a 10 foot door at 45 feet. up down variation is about 6 inches and side to side variation is almost nonexistent.

We have it set up so the wheel is hitting just above the widest diameter of the disk and just below the widest diameter of the tire with about 1/4 inch of compression and the tire at maybe 10psi. This ensures the disk does not ride up on the tire. Still need to add a guide on the outer rail to keep the disk from riding up on that."

Useful detail. Wish everyone would follow your example.

At your operating point, do you have any measurements of CIM voltage, current, and speed ?
