Buy a dryer to go with your compressor. Compressed air traps a lot of water and you don't want that in your air lines on your P&P machines. Additionally, make sure you keep up with all the preventative maintenance and change out the filters as requir

The reason for recommendations about refrigerated vs. desiccant dryers commonly comes down to the ISO class of compressed air they deliver. Refrigerated dryers are most commonly used in ISO Class 4 compressed air, and can't dry the air enough to reac

You want a big enough storage tank to smooth pressure. Figure out what size pipes you need and go a size bigger. Make a loop of the pipes with shut offs. That way you can shut down any section and still have air to the rest of the air line. Run the p

everything Stephen said + it is really important that you have correct diameter pipes. If diameter is too small there will be a significant pressure drop in pipes (and machines have their consumption 100-500 NL - normal liters / min) and pipe system

A cheap piston compressor (like you might use in a garage) should be rated such that it has ~50% duty cycle, you don't want it running continuously. They are very affordable but do switch on and off between two essentially hardwired setpoints. The b

No idea, could be a weird translation error, but its certainly something I have seen . For an FLX they just ask for this "5-6 bar, clean, dry, oil free, filtered 2 µm, connection diameter 8 mm", 40litre/min Personally I would go with a mo

The air kiss is to replace the vacuum with air so the part will drop off the nozzle. Every machine I've seen with Air kiss, uses it when discarding a part as well as when placing a part. The air kiss should not be strong enough to blow the nozzle off

I did not desire the manuals to learn how to operate the machines, rather I wanted to know technical data such as the proper PSI for the air supply lines.

Try this page for the updated machine An FP-100 about 85 psi. for this model. The basic machines are near identical , just newer plastic moldings. I think I ran mine off a car inner tube and a 12V tyre pump, originally. So that would have been a
