The barbed fitting will work but you will lose all control over the speed of the cylinder. The air control flow valve is essentially the same as the barbed fitting but it allows the user to adjust the volume of air that is supplied to the cylinder wh

That would be an air flow control valve used to adjust the speed of the squeegee. You can get them from Festo or I am sure that McMaster Carr carries them.

We have issues with the Philipps Luxeon Rebel LED where the part sticks to the cover tape during advancement. This causes the part to get flopped around in the pocket or the component gets dropped and damaged when the feeder advances. Has anyone ex

We use exclusively pneumatic feeders and can NOT control the force or speed of advancement. We get a lot of components (mostly LED-type packages) that tend to flop around in the pocket a lot and are flipped on the side or “thrown” by the feeder duri

Unfortunately, with the Micron ('i') series of machines, DEK seemed to stop making "ProFlow Ready" the standard on machines. In general, there are additional pneumatics and electronics required for a ProFlow installation.

It would help to know what brand of pneumatic feeder you are using. Some are adjustable and others are not.
