  • Parker Launches New Industrial Grade Version of High Rigidity HD Series.
    Parker Electromechanical Division launches a new grade of the robust HD Series family of positioners. This new grade is an industrial version targeting general automation needs with a lower total cost of ownership and a positional repeatability of +/- 50 microns. This maintanence free, dual square rail, ball screw driven positioner adds breadth to the Parker portfolio which already includes the high precision XR Series, the standard grade HD Series, the belt driven HPLA Series, and the linear motor driven LXR Series. For more information on the HD series please visit the website at: http://www.parkermotion.com/hd

  • Parker Releases New Daedal Linear Mechanics Positioning Catalog
    With 308 new color pages this catalog is an all-inclusive reference for the Parker Daedal linear mechanics positioning lines. The catalog covers linear motor driven positioners including the LXR and Trilogy positioners, the ball screw driven positioenrs including the XR, HD, MX80, and Ultra Series, the belt driven series including the HPLA, HLE, and ERV series, and many many more products including a rack and pinion style drive, a miniature PROmech Series, and a thruster style ET series. Along with the positioning mechanics products the catalog also has a section devoted to the additional Parker Electromechanical products inlcuding the servo motors, drives, controls, gearboxes, and HMI touchscreens. Including a 30 page motion and control technical reference section, the new catalog is the right tool for engineers to turn to for every positioning application.

The catalog has even gone green by use of recylcled paper, supporting Parker's efforts to engineer a better future for our planet.

  • Parker Launches Aries Controller
    Combining the versatile and cost-effective Aries digital servo drive platform with the advanced control capabilities of the ACR servo controller, Parker's new Aries Controller offers users a single-axis servo drive/controller with Ethernet communication and HMI connectivity. The Aries Controller is configured, tuned and programmed using Parker's comprehensive ACRView software environment. The ACRView environment also supports Parker's traditional analog multi-axis controls and drives and the ETHERNET Powerlink motionbus system, allowing users to switch between single-axis and multi-axis projects without having to relearn a different programming language or environment, saving time and lowering overall motion costs.

  • Parker Products Awarded

  • 402/403XE Linear Positioning Tables Launched
    Parker Electromechanical Automation has released the 402 and 403XE linear positioners. These positioning tables further complement the existing line of linear products. The unique body style of the 402/403XE allows for a low-profile, robust, low-cost positioning package. The 402/403XE offer a clean connectorized limit sensor package, optional motor mounts, including with or without the motor, clean room options, hard cover protection, and various screw lead and travel lengths to provide the best solution for the application.

  • New Low-cost Ironless Linear Positioner
    Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division announces the latest additions to its family of Trilogy I-Force positioners. Built around the 110 model of Trilogy's I-Force ironless motors, the T1D and T1S include everything needed for motion except the drive and controller. The principal design goal for these ready-to-run positioners is to achieve high performance at an economical cost while preserving the design flexibility to accommodate customization.

  • New and Improved Bayside Catalog and New Parker Trilogy Linear Motor Catalogs are Here!
    Parker Bayside's updated catalog covers gearheads, linear and rotary positioning stages, frameless kit motors, integral gearmotors, and a special section devoted to Parker Bayside's Engineered Solutions Group. Products new to the catalog include the PV planetary gearhead, a GM50 pancake gearmotor, and a comprehensive offering of ball-bearing linear slides and manual positioners. Parker is pleased to release the latest version of the Trilogy Linear Motor Catalog. This 116 page, full color guide includes ironless and ironcore linear motor positioners as well as precision grade linear motor positioners. The catalog also includes an extensive linear motor engineering reference guide, which offers an in-depth discussion of linear motor technologies and applications.

  • We've got you covered!
    Parker is proud to introduce the new strip seal cover for the PROmech family positioners. Designed to keep dirt and debris out of the drive train on the positioners, the strip seal protects the PROmech from damage due to external contamination. The results are a longer life and a more robust positioning solution.

  • Compax3 High Power Drive
    Parker EMN announces the addition of four new high-current power levels to its Compax3 family of industrial high-performance, all-digital servo drives. Now available with up to 75kW of output power, the Compax3 series will satisfy the demand for both high- and low-power drives within the same family. This is especially beneficial in the material forming, material handling and printing and converting markets, where the demand for a large power range is most prevalent. Customers save time and reduce their investment by selecting Parker as their single source for a comprehensive selection of servo drives.

  • Distributed/Web Enabled HMI - InteractXpress is Here
    Interact Xpress(TM) is Parker CTC's new Distributed HMI solution, featuring an advanced development environment for easy creation of rich graphics and multimedia applications. Xpress revolutionizes Level 1 HMI by allowing you to run, view and edit applications in any Internet Explorer(TM) browser. This architecture is ideal for distributed applications where multiple HMI's are deployed on a single machine or across several remote stations.
