Ok, so trying to fit the thumb grab to my 3 tonner. Nothing to do with welding this time, but my Tak only has on/off aux hydraulics so no proportional control. Basically plugged it into the machine to day and despite having no proportional control the thumb/ram actually extends in a beautifully controlled manner with no pump noise at all however when I try to retract the ram, (Close the thumb against dipper) it’s too fast and the pump is straining- not nice, Pump is either trying to push too much fluid, but I don’t understand why it’s so nice in one direction but not in the other. Any simple ideas for ways round this, ideally I’d get the joystick switched for proportional control but not even sure if this is possible.
Thanks for all the forthcoming solutions!
