What can you do if you find oil in your pneumatics system?
Hey All, So after attending the codi masterclass I opened up our pneumatics panel and sure enough that little sightglass mounted on the festo backplane has some oil in it. The mufflers external to that panel do not have any discoloration from oil in them but the adjacent backplane mounted muffler has some discoloration. Has anyone else had this same issue? Can individual components be replaced in this panel or is this a wholesale replacement of the entire system? There have not been any noticeable issues as of yet while operating the line, but I'd like to get ahead of this if this is just a ticking timebomb.

Old compressor shit the bed and dumped oil into the lines. I just disassembled mine and cleaned it and let it sit in rice over the long weekend. I'm sure you can get new cards if any of them are causing problems from oil in the lines. Check each function individually and then running at full speed. Your masterclass binder has a couple pages going over the Codi Manifold from Festo, so if you took good notes, it should come in handy as far as mapping out functions and potential replacements needed. I put mine back together this morning and it seems to be functioning well.
