Been thinking, planning and talking about how to set up the Magna Star Sizer with air.instead of an Electric motor. Here is a working picture of my set up . I need to put a panel on to cover up air tubes and then I will make a video and post, if I can figure out how to get AV file from my camera to photo bucket. Tired been repairing sprinkler system and just got back from road trip.
Parts all commerial available except for the handle that lathesmith threaded to 5/16-24
1.Push in 1/8 and1/4 fittings,
2.Air clyinder, i used a 1 1/16 with 10 inch stroke .think 6 or 8 would work but what i have works.
3&4 yoke and rod end ---to make a u-joint make sure yoke wide enought to accept width of the rod end.
5. I used 2 flow control meter OUT with knob adj. w/ push-quick fttng
I had a spare pressure regulator so I stuck it on the up stroke, less than five pounds of air pressures required
6. got a little carried away on the lever valve. purchased for safety reasons a 4-way, 3-position momentary lever valve, closed center This is just a lillte extra to keep my one good hand on the lever not under the punch, As you will see in the video when i post on U tube, i only use my left hand . Right hand mext to usuless.
7. Think the last part was a manifold to divide up the air flow. Hope i got it all
