That is a problem when you have a 2"x24" piston and a 2"x12" piston on your machine. It takes our system a quarter of the match to charge fully(thank goodness we only need it once or twice a match). That is also the reason we have developed the recycle circuit.

What Im wondering is if there is a solonoid valve that can be used for a multiposition pnuematic system(IEne valve instead of two or more). I ask this because using two solonoids is really draining on a new or small teams resourses and it would simplify my pnuematic boards quite a bit
