Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?

I've actually been looking for a way to do this for the past 2 years. I have a pretty firm grasp on pnuematics from the past 2 years, but I still fail to see how this could be done

I've also found, that amazingly, pneumatics actually weigh less then a motor driven assembly. Our team has always seemed to have a weight problem, and I'm always looking for a way to incorporate pneumatics instead of motor driven for the fact that they weigh less and are actually more reliable, but I've always been under the assumption, with the materials first gives us, you can only open and close a cylinder in 2 positions (full and closed).
