Re: Mulit-postioning with pnuematics this year?

Just a thought, if you were to use two double solenoids to control the throw of the cylinder. Use port A on one for the throw out, and on the other solenoid use port B for in. You block the other ports, both exaust and output, then route the exaust of both solenoids to the third double solenoid, and that lock when you want to stop in mid throw. I think that should allow you to position anywhere you wish, and not have the pressure equalize, but stay in the desired position. I would test it, but I'm at home and I don't have a pnuematics system to test it with here.
