Am I just way off track?
The highest you can run the pneumatic system is 60psi (to solenoids, pistons, etc) but you can store up to 115 psi in the two pneumatic tanks that are connected before the main 60 psi regulator. I guess this is so you can charge up the tanks to 115 psi and run the pistons numerous times before charging the tank up again (since charging the air tanks takes longer than using the air in them).
