    Replacing the ATC slide motor with Air Cylinder

    I am looking into modifying the ATC with the air cylinder like the Fadal EMC. I have been looking at the wiring diagram and am trying to see how I could use the existing 1100-2 board in my Fadal vmc15 to trigger 120vac air solenoids. I want to use the same logic. There has to be a way to do this using the existing K6 solenoid. I am thinking of taking the capacitor out of the loop and just I attach the 2 solder points together to give the circuit the loop it needs back to return.

    If anyone has an idea let me know. Just wanting to see if possible. If anyone knows how to get into the system logic to maybe perhaps switch pins as far as logic let me know also.

    Thanks
    Jeff

    Figured out the wiring to make this happen and will stream line the ATC with less moving parts. No real wiring modification.
