Updated video of my first attempt with pneumatics. Open to suggestions on control of the lid cylinder, it seems to powerful to me. I have one regulator working both cylinders . I installed a flow control on the feed in side of the lid solenoid. When leaving the pressure high enough to raise the box with the lower cylinder the lid seems to still have to much thrust.

great job! I think the speed of the lid is perfect. if want to slow down the lid, you have to control the exhaust side of the lid solenoid.

Thanks for the response. Can I use the flow control on the exhaust side of the solenoid ? I had placed it on the supply side.
