    We use MK3/4 from PlanetCNC.
    We prepared 3 SD Cards, so we can use it without external PC. One for Homing and two for the different application programs.

    What did you use for the air compressor/hoses/fittings and controller for the valve?
    I want to create a similar system to sort a stack of different thicknesses of glass.

    thanks.

    Hi Trevor,

    to create the vacuum, we use a vacuum pump with a pressure reservoir. It's not a special one, just a pump we had here. But there are several other possibilities to create vacuum, even with compressed air (But it's loud and expensive in usage).

    Hoses are standard-hoses (e. g. Luftschläuche/Standard｜MISUMI｜MISUMI) We have no problems with -0,9 bar with these hoses.

    Fittings are standard fittings, too. Just these blue plug-in-connectors. (e. g. Suchen nach Schnellkupplungen Artikeln und vielen anderen industriellen Komponenten ｜MISUMI

    The valve should be for vacuum use. It is controlled by the controller PCB, switched by a relay. (The controller PCB only provides 5 V and the valve need 24 V)

    Hope I could help you. Have a nice day.

    Greetz
