Re: pic: Pneu Module w/ SMC Manifold
SMC manifolds are awesome. Pretty much every machine at my workplace (Arvin Sango, INC) has at least one... although being a Japanese ownwed company we use SMC pretty much exclusively for generic air stuff. I've seen similar manifolds from festo too.

I will say that SMC's heavier duty stuff (overkill for FRC) does hold up. Some of our stuff with SMC solenoids/manifolds is over 20 years old and they work great (minus getting stuck in storage, nothing a little air oil won't fix).
