Why are we limiting CV , tubing and port size ? ( CD thread )
Why do we limit low-pressure to 60 psi compared to 70 or 80 psi ?
Are there any devices that could improve the pneumatic experience for most teams ? |
First of all, pneumatics restrictions were lessened by a lot this year. The CV of the valve restriction was removed.
The reason the GDC limits CV is for safety. If we had unlimited CV, and someone were to put their head against a medium to large size pneumatic cylinder, and it is accidentally actuated, the person would die.
