Section 3.4.2 Cushion Air Valve System Mounting
The mounting location of the cushion air valve system is not critical. Consideration should be
given, however, to ease of maintenance, plumbing, and wiring when choosing the mounting
location. Also note that sometimes the check valve in the original system may be up at the surge
tank itself. The check valve must be removed for the automatic system to work.
Section 3.4.3 Cushion System Wiring
Refer to Appendix B, Figure B.2, for typical wiring of the cushion valve and pressure transducer.
Note that the auto-select connection is only connected if a type “C” integrated valve is used. For
type “A” and “B” valves, the auto-select connection from pin 2 of the cushion board is not
required.
IN3 is the cushion dump input. If IN 3 goes high, 24 V, the cushion dump solenoid will turn on
to release cushion pressure. If a Type “B” valve is being used for cushion pressure control, the
cushion pressure will go to the minimum value set by the manual regulator (as long as there is
shop air pressure). A separate dry contact is required to connect IN 3 to 24 V for each automatic
setups module being used for cushions control. If more that one automatic setup module is being
used to control multiple cushions, IN 3 on each module must be connect to the 24 V connection
on the same module. Do not connect 24 V from one module to the IN 3 of another module.
Section 3.5 Slide Adjust System Installation
Standard slide adjust systems that set shut height on presses vary widely depending on
manufacturer and age. In general, slide adjust systems are either manually turned by wrenches
or levers, or use electric or air motors to adjust the shut height. The OmniLink II Press
Automation Control automatic slide adjust system can only be used on presses with motorized
