  • This system also includes a four-way three-position valve 128 which is identical to valve 108.
  • This valve 128 includes a pair of solenoids 130 and 132 and a pair of compression springs 134 and 136. Energizat-ion of solenoid 130 moves valve 128 to the left to admit fluid under pressure to conduit 122 and thereby raise piston 70 and stopper rod 24.
  • solenoid 132 Conversely, energization of solenoid 132 moves valve 128 to the right to admit high pressure fluid from conduit 120 to conduit 124 and thereby raise piston 70 and stopper rod 24.

  • Conduits 122 and 124 have temperature and pressure compensated variable orifice flow control valves 137 and 138 respectively therein. These valves reduce the rate of hydraulic fluid fiow into cylinder 28 and thus permit close control of the piston speed.

Valves 137 and 138 have variable orifices 139 and 140 respectively which have uniform flow rates over wide ranges of pressure temperature and fluid viscosity. Valves 137 and 138 have re turn lines 141 and 142 respectively which have check valves 143 and 144 respectively therein, permitting flow of fluid from the cylinder 28 toward four-Way valve 128 and preventing flow in the opposite direction.
