Motion Control and Automation

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

The Pro-face SP5000 Series HMI delivers cutting-edge features with an automation architectures. Ideal for big data. 12 display + box combinations. The GP4000 Series offers touch screen displays with extensive simultaneous multi-protocol connectivity. Learn more.

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.

Most engineers are comfortable with the qualities of square rail bearing linear actuators and they use them regularly for motion support. Let's take a quick moment to discuss the pros and cons of roller wheel bearing linear actuators.
