FT Pneumatics Sorter

This model uses pneumatics to sort out black and white colored discs into two compartments. Two large cylinders with their piston ends joined together are used to move the gripper from one bin to the other.

The nozzle of the solenoid valve is too large for the FT plastic tubing. So a white tubing adapter has to be used in between.  But this causes a problem - the white tubing adapter tends to come off the nozzle of the solenoid valve">
