Re: Designing with Pneumatics-Catcher

Depending on how your gripping the tote. It looks like your mechanism will easily be able to support six totes, although you'll need to really fine tune it. If the cylinders are off by even a little bit, the whole system is messed up. I speak from experience.

For future reference I find this force calculator very quick and helpful.
