How do you control the length a piston will extention/retraction?
Can we control how far the piston on a pneumatic cylinder extends and contracts? We are using the double solenoid with a dual actuated cylinder. When we turn the relay on the piston extends to its FULL length. We tried turning the relay off before the piston was in it's fully extended position, but it didn't stop. Can you control the length the piston extends with programming?
