Re: 60 second set-up / pack-up time?

We had a similar pneumatic lockout problem. We solved it with a single acting solenoid. When the robot is disabled it "defaults" to a closed loop and vents the lines that run to the solenoids that run the cylinders, allowing us to disconnect the lines. When the robot is enabled, we enable the solenoid and it sends air to the system that has been attached.
