: Regarding the SMC Pneumatics supplied parts, is something missing? Our understanding from the pneumatics workshop at the kick-off is that the electric solenoids (SY113) were intended to be used to control the power valves (SYA3120 & SYA3320). But (with the parts we received) the electric selenoids appear to accept ONLY 4mm tubing, and the control port on the power valves accept ONLY 6mm tubing. Thus, we can not connect the output from the solenoid to the power valves. We've rigged something to work temporarily, but we're wondering if we're missing something (either parts or know-how).

Mike,
You're not alone. We have encountered the same problem also. The solenoids only have an M3 output when we really want an M5 output so that we can use the actuators (because they only accept 6 mm tubing, NOT 4 mm). We considered maybe this is the way it is supposed to be and maybe we can order new solenoids with an M5 output. ANYBODY READING THIS MESSGE PLEASE HELP!!!

So, Mike if this is indeed the way it was supposed to be shipped then either we are both missing something or we just have to order new solenoids.
