Compressor gets hot and blows line

Let me check the regulators, and get back to you.

Like many have said, we always use lots of brass fittings at the beginning of the line from the compressor and put the required fittings on there as well, this helps because the brass dissipates the heat before it reaches the tubing.

Matthew,
Is this the same robot you are asking about in the Labview Forum? If so, there is something seriously wrong with the DSC or your code. The compressor should not come on until the robot is enabled. Neither should the RSL.
