Zusammenfassung:A pneumatic control system for selectively controlling a pneumatically-operated device for controlling movement of a variable load, such as a material handling device or lifting and lowering device, is capable of automatically sensing the load exerted on the pneumatically-operated device and automatically self-compensating for varying loads in order to selectively maintain the load in a static condition. The system further allows for ease of manual manipulation of the load to a new static condition and automatically self-compensates in order to maintain the load at such new static condition. The system preferably accomplishes this by automatically detecting the outlet pneumatic pressure necessary to maintain the load in a first static condition and for automatically self-adjusting the outlet pneumatic pressure to maintain the load in a second static condition.
