Mind you I could ask for a “pneumatic miniature elbow” my what a big picture I posted.

With the help of the photo what would the little 90°coupler that joins the little (in diameter) hose to the solenoid that makes the squeegee go forwards and backwards. This is ex-second hand screen printer (SD-04-00) from Kontakt-Systems Ltd

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.

You need a fitting (brass or stainless steel. As mentioned above, McMaster Carr is one source. Look here http://www.mcmaster.com/#miniature-brass-barbed-tube-fittings/=iz8t1h You will need to know the thread.

Thank you very much RLM umm I think maybe I did not explain correctly, see at the (middle) right eye side of the picture, there is a hole with internal thread, I need (lets call it a “miniature elbow with bend”) to screw into the hole and attach the

The pneumatic control valve can be roughly divided into different valves: pneumatic ball valve, pneumatic butterfly valve, pneumatic gates valve, pneumatic intercept valve, and so on. The first two are switching methods of angle strokes, and the latt

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

We had an issue where a vision cable got cut and a few wires were exposed and possibly shorted. We fixed the cable and since then have had numerous errors with the last one being pneumatic power down. We have air to the machine and have checked the p
