Compressor improvements using typical industrial controls. No manufacturers have invented a better way to control small compressors. It's a pain in the ass waiting to use a tool, only to have the pressure switch shut the compressor off when it finally builds pressure.
An unloader valve solves the tripped breaker problem nicely and pressure switches with that included are cheap. (For those not familiar when an unloader valve is used the air tank is prevented from backfeeding the pump by a check valve while the unloader valve dumps pressure between pump and tank check valve until the pump is up to speed.) Augmenting tiny compressors feeding tiny ID hose to tiny tanks is fun, but the industrial way of more power is hard to beat (and all the mods done to baby compressors would work even better on real ones).
For mobile high pressure use many use CO2 (I collect used cylinders, CO2 is love!) or high pressure compressed air cylinders (paintball cylinder kits are common). For light work cordless tools are now so good many mechanics (self included) rarely use pneumatic tools. I can cut the nose off a Suburban with less than one battery using less than one recip saw blade when LS harvesting, and cordless impacts are so good they often beat pneumatic impacts especially when those are at the end of a long hose run.
Great idea. I need logic
this is still fook'n a awesonme
Just picked up a free senco pc2016 seems like the same specs. Got it purring like a modelA It’s missing the pilot valve cleaned it up had a broken pressure switch and retapped it’s bunghole😅. Would love advise I am new to tinkering with compressors and being a Combat Veteran with PTSD things keep my mind occupied but can be frustrating. Can i do without the pilot valve ?
Build a simple back flow check valve manifold ?.. new sub loving the boys in the shop style vids and information dump
Sounds like it will work one thing though that compressor pump possibly won’t lubricate as good spinning at higher RPMs
Ya compressor is churning backerds.
I can't understand half the shit he's saying
Couldn't you run a small signal wire along with the air line (or wireless if line of sight isn't a problem) and just have it switch to maximum power. Just have a thermistor and a pressure sensor to be a safety switch so to speak. Motor gets too hot it turns off or if it's producing more air than you can use it slows down or shuts off. A few ics should be able to manage that.
Maybe I'm an idiot but couldn't you just get a bigger compressor and tank? Yeah portability and fitting in job trailer…but seems a lil crackhead to me. Or patent your design and laugh all the way to the bank maka fool of me.
I think the PLC idea is fantastic. Did you ever make the new vid?
Usually on jobsites framers are using gas compressors
Really logical solution to a very annoying single phase problem. What would the plc and motor setup cost approximately?
So I was given an antique air compressor on the inlet valve to the piston there is an adjustable threaded valve to control how much air your drawing into the cylinder head, I can’t figure this out anybody have any ideas?
Something something co-effeciency of poomatics. I'd argue lithium ion batteries do a better job at storing energy and releasing it on demand in great volume. Pretty neat for blowing shavings off before my wife castrates me for stepping foot in the house looking like a frosted Christmas tree.
