Components developed and produced at Parker form the basis of eminently practical concepts and systems for automation purposes. The basic module is an aluminium linear actuator. To achieve high dynamic performance and load characteristics, there are belt, rack and screw drive options. The benefits of Parker automation systems are particularly convincing when moving heavy loads at high speeds over extended distances.

An extensive range of servo motors with fully-digital servo control deliver the necessary performance to our equipment. Real-time-capable bus systems link servo amplifiers and control units. These make possible very short cycle times, even for time-critical processes. Industrial computers acting as Man- Machine-Interfaces provide clear text dialogues, offering maximum convenience in programming and for the operation of complex automation systems.

To achieve comprehensive data communication with higher level controllers and PLC systems, a tried-and-tested bus system is employed which is fully compatible with the most commonly used IT standards. Parker makes use of standardized interfaces to ensure that all components comply with the company’s system-based philosophy. This makes them flexible and cost-effective to use in conjunction with an extremely wide range of systems and user-specific automation equipment.

Linear gantries - the ideal way of loading and unloading machines, conveyor belts and pallets. They combine the highest standards of cost-effectiveness with seamless automation.

Standardized gantries arranged around a production area form the key to comprehensive automation of the material flow to production equipment, transport and packaging equipment. Since they are able to move into any position within the working area, it is also possible to integrate measuring and testing stations. Their cost-effective design delivers economical solutions to automation problems.

Depending on the requirements, the gantry robots can use standard grippers or specially developed grippers for defined tasks. This enables them to grip anything from the proverbial egg and flexible rubber or plastic parts to robust, heavy steel components in a completely reliable manner. Decades of experience in dealing with the widest imaginable variety of workpieces and materials enables the Parker specialists in Offenburg to develop the optimum gripper for each handling function.

Speed and flexibility are the most important factors in a palettizing operation. Short throughput times at high travel and positioning speeds can be achieved using these palettizing robots. Flexibility primarily demands an open control system which offers clear text dialogues, making it easy to program for various palettizing tasks. These benefits are combined in an ideal manner in the superb palettizing systems supplied by Parker.

An industrial computer acts as a Man-Machine-Interface. A graphical display of the approaching palettizing samples on a screen allows for easy and comfortable programming. The sequential programs are generated and monitored automatically by the integrated, fully digital servo control unit.

To provide reliable transport for pallets, packaging and workpieces made from every conceivable material in a wide range of shapes, the palettizing systems are equipped with application specific grippers. If various tasks need to be handled in an automatic sequence, gripper changeover systems give short retooling times and ensure maximum flexibility.

Any modern inventory management system capable of coping efficiently with stock movement needs to have good quality high-bay stock handling equipment. Nowadays, cost-effective, automated high bay stock handling systems are able to deal with a broad range of tasks and require very little intervention by human operators. Here are a few examples: retrieving small parts to make up an order, moving raw semi-finished materials into and out of stock, perhaps via buffer stock areas located beside production, storing documentation and other data in archives.

In order to achieve rapid stock transfer, high-bay stock handling equipment must be able to cover extended distances at high speeds and at a high dynamic. Parker high-bay stock handling systems meet these requirements, and are equipped with belt or rack drive units powered by high-performance servo motors and fully digital servo controllers. Telscopic or push/pull-type lifting systems are able to move a tremendously wide variety of units into and out of stock. Integrated PC control units enable goods moving into and out of stock in the automated high bay storage areas to be monitored and documented reliably.

There is virtually no limit to the number of ways in which Parkers mechanical and electronic components can be combined to create customer-specific automation systems. A perfectly matched, modular and high-performance range of components allows the equipment to be employed in every major industrial sector.

Parker has developed high-performance industrial plotters for working over large surface areas, for example when cutting film, applying sealants and adhesives, milling grooves, marking out, plotting and scribing metal sheets and wooden panels. The userfriendly, PC-assisted programming interface pro vides a solution for every contouring problem. Refl ecting in a mirror axis, rotating, enlarging, reducing,
spline in terpolation, DXF file transfer - using these features, you can work quickly and simply on just
about every concept.
