Considering the low pressure, maybe the slider gets stuck because the horizontal
rail needs to be greased again.
That worked for us when we had a similar problem last year (even though we
have 6 bar).
Best Regards,
Jürgen

Hello Kenneth,
I do not know if this would be applicable. But when I was at York College of
PA, the compressor we were using would only barely produce the 80psi (5.5 bar)
and I noticed that suddenly one time we kept having an issue with the sample
getting to above the magnet but not releasing. It turned out that the pressure
was enough to get it to the top and start moving but not enough to get it to
the end and let the sample go. It turned out that the issues corresponded with
a large number of people needing the house air at the same time, and that drop
of a few psi was enough to cause the problem.
I don't know if you have a dedicated air supply or a house one but thought
I would add my two cents. (am still pretty new here)
Sincerely,
Silas
