Nova reinventing the 3 way?

[Blackmagic71]

Certainly seems interesting.

This is one of the things Chris mentioned to me on the phone when I talked to him in early July. I'm happy to see someone working on bringing new ideas to cockers.


Also, maybe it's just deja vu, but I could have swore I made this post yesterday?

I saw Nova confirm it is a swing frame only at this time. they said they are working on a way to make it work with a slider and say they are working on a "compatible slide frame in the future".

I am not an engineer but to me that makes me suspect the spool system is a dump chamber type spool with out a constant air feed to the activate position.

It’s for sale solo now for $80

I’m eyeballing this for a purchase but have concerns if I have enough room beside my Tickler LPR.

The swing makes sense, it pushes the spool... Never mind looked at it again, the air chamber is already in bound. I'd also like to know how the air vents, seems like you'd have the same issue of the solenoid being too fast to vent air slowing the ram.

I wonder how this could be used to mech markers that were previously hard to mech due to being dwell dependent.

Anybody try a single hinge yet

I don't think will work on anything that doesn't have a metered dump chamber. The videos ive seen it seems that this trigger valve/5 way/whatever name it looks like you can still hold the trigger down and the back block stays back. The big change is that once it triggers it will fully cycle.

This is so cool, I love that people are still inventing with the autococker platform

I wonder if its an off-the-shelf item at parker or pneumatdyne. Dual piloted spool valves are in the catalogs, but often things need a bit of tweaking to take the abuse we do in paintball
