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 ā€œAā€ and Type ā€œCā€ valves
described in Section 3.2. In all cases a pressure transducer is used to monitor the air pressure.
