Re: how to speed the extension of pneumatic cylinders
The basic limitation is the airflow from a 60 psi storage tank to the cylinder through a length of .16" ID tubing and a solenoid valve (7.8 SCFM max for the Festo?) Multiple smaller cylinders will require less airflow per cylinder, but that doesn't help if all the air is coming from the same tank. Best case, each cylinder has its own valve and its own storage tank. I figured 5 cylinders (and 5 tanks) is the minimum, and that starts getting awkward.
