Section 3.3 Counterbalance Control Installation
The automatic counterbalance control system consists of an air control board mounted on the
5100 Automatic Setup base board, a control valve (or valves), and a pressure transducer. The
typical manually controlled press counterbalance system looks something like Figure 3.8.
Figure 3-8 Typical Counterbalance System
For automatic control, the pressure regulator and check valve are replaced with an air valve
system. Figures 3.9 and 3.10 illustrate systems using the Type āAā and Type āCā valves
described in Section 3.2. In all cases a pressure transducer is used to monitor the air pressure.
