Re: can we control the amount of air to control the speed of the cylinder?

We are using the Festo to switch between a high and low pressure. Seems to be working pretty well. The hard part was writing a latch circiut in Labview to lock the Festo in the powered position. We also found that we had to have the high pressure in the correct port, to provide the internal pilot pressure.
