Re: Modification of the SMC Valve?
Read Rule <R92> carefully:
Quote:
<R92> Pneumatic components supplied in the Kit Of Parts (compressor, regulators, pressure switches, cylinders, valves, fittings, tubing, etc.) can not be modified except as follows:
• The tubing may be cut.
• The wiring for the valves and pressure switch may be modified as necessary to interface with the control system.
• Mounting and connecting pneumatics components using the pre-existing threads, mounting brackets, etc., is not considered a modification of the components. Removing the pin from the rear of an air cylinder is allowed as long as the cylinder itself is not modified.
Do not, for example, file, machine, or abrasively remove any part of an air cylinder. Consider pneumatic components sacred. They must remain in “out of the shipping box” condition.

Draw your own conclusions. If there is any question at all, then please get confirmation one way or the other from the FIRST Q&A System.
None of us want to see any Robots rejected during inspection. If there is a problem, the inspector won't listen if you say "well, somebody on CD said it was OK..." (particularly if that information is just flat out wrong)
