Re: festo vavle prob

have you checked the solenoids? One could be burned out.

Re: festo vavle prob

Replace the solenoid with a new one and see if it works. I don't know if you have any spares...

Re: festo vavle prob

1075 uses pneumatics extensively, and we've found the plastic festo's included in the 2005-08 KOP to be rather unreliable. They tend to break and cease functioning the fastest of all the KOP valves since 2003

Re: festo vavle prob

Ours didn't work (exact same thing happened), so we got a replacement. The replacement had the same exact problem. So we decided to drop Festo and go for the SMC valves.

Re: festo vavle prob

the kop solenoids don't work ever, order from festo directly.

Re: festo vavle prob

We've even found the metal festo's from the 2003 era to be crap too, if for no other reason than their excessively high pressure requirement to switch.

I'm totally for SMC, especially since they've stepped up in the past to give Canadian teams free cylinders in lieu of reasonable shipping time from Bimba.

Re: festo vavle prob

Going with the trend, we got fed up with our two festos about 2 hours before shipping and slapped on some of the SMCs and where in business

Start with the assumption that it is dead.

Pull a replacement valve and hook it up to the same way. If the replacement valve functions, the original valve is dead. If the replacement valve doesn't function, your wiring might be bad OR the replacement might be dead as well.

We had this situation arise earlier at the competition- the piston-fired arm wouldn't extend. I had the students go thru this sort of test- and the replacement work. Therefore replace and diagnose later.

Hope you found a solution before shipping!
