Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?

Look at page 4 of the 2004 Pneumatics Manual. The primary pressure regulator, the Norgren, is required in-line right after the tanks to limit the working pressure to 60 psig. This is a "relieving regulator" - if the pressure on the downstream side (cylinders & solenoid valves) increases above 60 psig - say, by pushing on an arm actuated by a cylinder - the regulator will relieve the pressure by venting air. There is no need to jump through hoops to limit working pressure to <= 60 psig; the main regulator takes care of that automatically.

Now, while you have the manual out, why not read the entire thing thoroughly, so you understand how all of the components work together? It will pay off in the long run, only takes about 30 minutes, and will save pages of posting.
