Abstract
A valve block assembly includes a cartridge block and a plurality of modular pilot valve operated poppet valve assemblies. The cartridge block has a plurality of bores therein dimensioned and configured for receiving respective modular pilot valve operated poppet valve assemblies. The cartridge block has a first side and each of the bores extend from the first side into the cartridge block. Each of the modular pilot valve operated poppet valve assemblies having a supply air port, an operating air out port and an exhaust passage and each of the modular pilot valve operated poppet valve assemblies are accessible for installation and removal from the cartridge block from the first side. Other forms of the invention include a modular pilot valve operated poppet valve assembly for use with an associated valve block assembly of an associated glassware manufacturing machine which includes a solenoid control valve having an input port for connection to an associated source of pilot air and an outlet port, the solenoid control valve having a first position and a second position, the position changing in response to being energized and a poppet valve having a first port for connection to an …
