Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?

Quote:
the extend side becomes pressurized to 111 psi...
that is not possible with the drawing I posted. As soon as the secondary regulator sees more than 60 psi on its output side it will vent it until the pressure drops to 60. not gradually, instantly.

its the same as if you use the pneumatics as defined in the manual - if you have a large cylinder pointing forwards on your bot, extended - and you drive into a wall at high speed, as the cylinder is pushed in the regulator vents the excess pressure - thats what they are for. they keep the pressure on the output side at the set level, no matter what happens to the cylinders.
