Re: pnneumatic axe robots

I used prodesk top, and I'm using a rack and pinion style system, I'm just trying to find a ram of the correct size ATM... And then I will adjust the cad, acordingly. and I used the engineering drawing, as it looks the clearest, and the CAD was multicolour, at the time, and I cba to change it...

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

i have to build around my ram, ive got a 40mm bore, 100mm stroke ram at 12 bar, should have some kick

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

Yeh, I just can't find one, of the right detentions... I'm looking for about 50 mm bore, 150-180mm stroke... At about 10 bar, as that's quiet a universal presure...

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

i need to find a 12 bar reg, thats the hard bit since i believe that trev regs only run at 10 bar

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

I would just run it at 10 bar if I was you, because it's still about 500 kgs of force coming from a 40mm bore ram... I'm only using the extra power, so I can flip robots using the specially shaped axe head....

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

that was my plan as well

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

Haha ok, but a quick question, would 60kg of force be enough to flip a robot?

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

shockwave (LP flipper from team ocean) had about 60kg worth of flip and that could flip a FW oota. and that system didnt even have a buffer tank

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

seeing as a fw is 13kg, 60kg is plenty. BTW a 40mm bore ram at 10 bar is about 130kg of thrust. I think the trevor regs can go to 12bar, most can if you modify them, but your are then running stuff over their rated pressure, some valves might not like it.

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

so a 40mm bore ram at 12 bar should give a good hit, nice

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

hey alex you could always use my 80mm bore and maybe my 30mm bore ram.

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

trev regs will do anything 0-25 bar

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

Ben, what stroke are your rams? And I may just go for 20-30 mm bore ram so I have more hits...

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

if either of you are interested i've got a 40mm bore 50mm stroke 10 bar ram

[Bodge Job]

Re: pnneumatic axe robots

Hmmm that's a little short for what I want, I was looking for about a 150mm stroke ram....
