How does Airbox achieve 5/3 function?
The answer is almost always yes, but “how” involves thinking automation not just pneumatics. The expression “5/3” is itself “old jargon” even if it is familiar. You combine two pairs of pneumatic outputs on any one Airbox. Block one of each pair and connect the other to the cylinder. By pulsing or setting one of each pair of outputs, or none or both, the Airbox becomes a “programmable 5/3 valve”.
