5.6 Valve Requirements and Connections
As with all pneumatic piston arrangements, smooth operation
requires proper porting of the supplied and vented air.
It is recommended that a single 4-way valve be used to actuate the
locking mechanism in the SWK. The valve may be of either 4-port
or 5-port configuration.
It is imperative that when air is supplied to the Lock or Unlock Port
on the SWK, that the opposite port be vented to atmosphere (i.e.,
when air is supplied to the Lock Port, the Unlock Port must be
open to the atmosphere.)
Failure to vent trapped air or vacuum on the inactive port will
negate the locking force of the quick-change mechanism.
WARNING
Risk of injury for personnel caused by a released quick-change
adapter.
The quick-change mechanism will not function properly when
connected to a single 3-way valve as this type of valve is
incapable of venting trapped air pressure from within the Tool
Changer.
