Vacuum table valve types for button/switch control

Post by Robroy »

Good day forum, can someone help me with a vacuum table question? Currently we have 4 zones that are controlled by a handle that has to be quarter-turned to turn on/off. I want to switch this so that I can put switches on a panel and control the zones that way. What should I use?

Thank you in advance

A throwback to my first YouTube video from 13 years ago! I used Valterra Knife valves with stainless paddles that were operated by pneumatic cylinders. That was the manual version, I've done a few systems that were controlled by the CNC controller since then.
