Motion Control and Automation

Since 1992 The Enerdoor Group has specialized in the measurement and analyses of EMC testing and CE Certification, providing on-site flat rate testing to customers around the world through an efficient, global organization.

Parker's dedicated electromechanical business is an industry leader in solving positioning applications including those that require linear motor stages. Whether you need one component or an entire integrated system, Parker has the right engineered solution for OEM's of various markets.

Valin donated aluminum framing and connectors to the students at San Jose State University so they could build a pod to house their magnetic levitation system for the Hyperloop Pod Competition.

The K6CM motor monitoring device can help maintenance personnel identify motors that need repair before they cause an unexpected line down situation.

The new F3SG-4RR global light curtains are a line extension that also includes productivity improvements with easy to mount brackets, Smartclick cables, and more indicators to expedite installation and reduce maintenance downtime.

End users are demanding more information from their power supplies to maximize uptime and the S8VK-X delivers with real time service life information that can be monitored from a central location.

The high-speed IXA SCARA Robot holds the fastest cycle times and yet achieves a lower price than previous SCARA models. The arch motion smoothly blends both horizontal and vertical motion to accomplish continuous high-speed cycle times.

Parker's MPW Series extends the MPP motor family to meet the needs of those applications exposed to high-pressure, highly caustic, washdown environments.

The elimination of air and gases is a great start to be contaminant-free, but a vacuum chamber won't be empty of components when completing an application. You should ensure nothing in the chamber will cause contamination, including the linear mechanics.

Patlite's LA6-POE features easy-to-use editing software for programming various color sequences in the field, a mirroring function for monitoring equipment from remote locations, and PoE (Power over Ethernet) for single cable installation. 

IAI's WU Series Wrist units are ideal for reducing costs when a 6-axis robot is not necessary. IAI's unique design makes the parts light and compact, reducing the cost of equipment. Diagonal approaches and tip swiveling can now be performed with the minimum required axis configuration.

Machinery safeguarding represents one of the best investments on the plant floor. For example, in a study conducted by the Liberty Mutual Group for the US, 61 percent of executives say they save $3 for every dollar invested in safety equipment and programs.

IAI's EC ELECYLINDER® is an economical choice for air cylinder operations and is designed for simplicity from startup to maintenance

Valin offers pre-configured, multi-axis cartesian robots that reduce installation and setup times. Many variations are available to support 2 to 6-axis configurations. The multi-slider types let you reduce space and cycle time.

IAI Table Top Robot is equipped with a battery-less absolute encoder. This means that home-return is not required, and no external home sensor is required since home-return is not necessary.

The F4T with INTUITION® temperature process controller from Watlow offers a wide range of field removable I/O modules for maximum design flexibility. Configurations can be custom tailored to meet the scaling needs of a tremendous range of equipment and applications.

Valin is pleased to announce that we are now an authorized Swivellink® distributor. When it comes to mounting a vision camera, light, or sensor - we now have the perfect mounting solution for you. With the flexibility Swivellink® has to offer, you can get to just about any position needed for your application.

Parker's Universal Motor Adapter (UMA) makes it easier than ever for machine designers to specify their linear stage with whatever motor they'd like while avoiding the often drawn-out customization process.

Do you remember Compumotor - the original innovators of microstepping technology? Parker's Electromechanical & Drives division was founded on that legacy, and we continue to augment our motion control line with cutting-edge products

Machine designers are increasingly turning to gearheads to take advantage of the latest advances in servo motor technology. Essentially, a gearhead converts high-speed, low-torque energy into low-speed, high-torque output.

Hydraulic cylinders harness fluid pressure and flow to generate linear motion and force, and they work well in both industrial machines, like presses and plastic-molding machines, and in mobile equipment, like excavators and mining trucks.

When commercial electromechanical actuators or stages first became available, a new machine's design was often dictated by the limited number of products available to designers with very rigid designs that did not allow for customization. Learn more.

Parker's Intelligent Parker Amplifier (IPA), a full-featured servo drive/controller, is delivered standard with EtherNet/IP (EIP) communications capability. The IPA is an EIP adapter device (aka server or slave) that is ready out of the box for a PLC to establish communications to it.

Whether searching for a partner or planning to do the work internally, to bring motion and control value to your next development project, verify that the team has the right tools and skills to guarantee success.
