ASV RC100 Third function proportional control

[mmcdesign]

Hello everyone. I have an ASV RC100, first CTL I have owned. Question for anyone else out there with an ASV CTL, when using a grapple attachment, do the jaws slam open or shut when you activate the thumb switch on the right joystick, or is it more gradual? On my machine the switch seems to only apply full pressure to the cylinders.

Thanks,
Mike

If it's moving the lids too fast you can add restrictors to slow them down. You'll still get full pressure for clamping objects.

I was wondering about that. Where would the best place to put them be? As close to the source as possible or closer to the cylinders, or does it make any difference?

I'd put them on the grapple between the quick connect and the tee to the lids. When I add them I set them up to restrict flow out of the cylinder(s) on the theory that doing it the other way can induce cavitation. But I'm not sure it matters.
