Alternatively, you could just use the SMC valves out of the kit.

They "Disappeared".

I have called more than one SMC listed distributor.
They still do not show the part number in their SMC system. The part listed is SY3240-6H-S. They do not have that in the
SMC system according to the 2 distributors I called. They have a part SY3240-6HZ-X70 which was the one from last year.
The SY3240-6HZ-X70 they have 150 on the warehouse shelf. I do not know what to do. We need one.

I also put a question on Q&A but it has been over 48 hours with no answer.

Please can any team help us decide what to do.
The SMC ones are $83.00 each, so I do not want to order the wrong one.

What about <R34> and <R42>, even though we are in the USA.


Is there anyone not using theirs? We could pay for shipping, buy it, etc.

Don't you have the double SMC's from the past? I'm pretty sure they're the same valves.

No answer? Did you check here? It seems that the answer to your question was posted several hours before it was said "there was no answer."

I really did look before I posted. One of our two questions showed up but this one had a lock on it. I now know why I did not see it. I thought I put the question in Section 10 - Kit of Parts, but this answer is in Section 8 - The Robot - pneumatics. I kept looking in Section 10 for the answer and did not see it. My appology to all, especially the person who answered our question in a very timely manner. Next time I will check better before I post.
