Re: Two Compressors
actaully it doesnt matter how much storage you have, if your compressor cant keep up with your air demand
I take it you are using the pneumatics to move an arm or something, and when you move it back and forth a lot the tanks run dry?
in that case you want the hose between the compressor and the tanks as short as possible, so it have the least amount of resistance (more airflow) and you want to regulate the pressure to the cylinders as low as possible for the task you are performing, to use the least amount of air - also you might consider using a cylinder with a smaller diameter, that wont use as much air as a large one (if you dont need all that force)
BTW - putting extra cylinders in your system WONT give you more capacity because they are past the regulators, you would have to put them on the high pressure side of the regulator to store air - and that is against the rules.
Putting extra cylinders in your system will keep your pressure from dropping as low as it would without them, but it wont let you cycle your clinders any faster, because the only air coming into the system is through the compressor. If you 'need' 60 psi then you cant get it by using extra cylinders as storage.
