Abstract
A modular pneumatic distribution assembly comprising a plurality of modules, each formed by a pneumatic distributor fixed on a base which comprises at least one common length of pressure duct and at least one common length of exhaust duct, and means for fixing to an adjacent base, the assembly being remarkable in that each distributor is a distributor having a flat slide distributor communicating with the base via three distribution orifices and a pressure orifice, the axis of the slide mechanism being parallel to the direction of the common pressure and exhaust ducts in the bases, in that at least two distributors of the assembly are of different calibers, one having distribution orifices of a section that is at least twice the section of the distribution orifices of the other, and in that the outside profile of the section of each module on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the slide mechanism is identical regardless of the caliber of the distributor.
