Nice. If you haven't sped up your crushing stroke yet you could throw in a Amot 4057 or equivalent to send more air, directly from the supply to your cylinder and control it with the solenoid. The Amots are expensive though. I had to put in a needle valve in to restrict my flow. Wrecks to much shit. I am trying to make a fully mechanical automatic pneumatic can crusher out of junk, she is a pain in the ass.
Man there is thousands of pounds worth of gear there and you need to be a rocket scientist to operate it just to squash cans, sod that I will stick to standing on them
Great job, I think your feeder mechanism is the best I have seen.
I could watch this in action all day long. I'm amazed!!!
Pretty dang impressive. Overkill on the electronics but I got my geek fix for sure on this one. Bravo to you my friend. BRAVO !!
Good job very nicely done
pretty damned impressive! Nice Work!
this thing is bad ass i wanna make one!
nice work...
Amaizing.............
damn you removed that cover so fast.
Your name must be Rube Goldberg....

Budget was a preventive factor for higher flow solenoids, but you're right.
@dumle29 Writing these on my phone. Some wired mistakes o_0
Elaborate, if you could. I'd like to know.
were do you get the solenoids and pneumatic cylinder?
They were laying around...

You're right, but that's not the point. Good job though.
@Harpmaster9000 woods miser the reply and hit thumbs down :S
Okay :D but were did you get the solenoids and the cylinders from?
whats funny is my daughter and I can smash cans faster than that, and its free
That's great, but beside the point.
use an arduino insted of that big thing :D
Ladder logic is important still.
@ninjamaster250 well no. then i wouldnt have asked doh.
google ismy bible
It takes a technician to design the hardest and most non-understandable way to do things...
I crush my cans with my hands... yawnnn...
