Re: problems with pneumatic tubing in telescoping arm
We used long lengths of tubing last year for a gripper at the end of our telescoping arm.
We zip-tied the two pneumatic tubing lines going to the cylinder about every 6 inches to keep them together. Then we used a short length of the surgical tubing to help it "recoil" when we lowered the arm. It worked well and we did not have any kinks or binds in the tubing. I would NOT try to heat the tubing to make it into a coil. You will most likely damage the walls and then fail the tube just when you need it. |
