What’s new for Positioners and Actuators?

Miniature Linear Motor
Miniaturization of fiber optics, photonics, electronics and biomedical processes has driven the need for smaller and more efficient positioners. Parker’s MX80 Micro Stage, the smallest linear servomotor driven positioner in the industry, is loaded with high performance features for both rapid linear translation and precise positioning of smaller loads in small work envelopes. Designed for today’s 24/7 production demands, the MX80 has redefined “high-throughput automation” in the world of miniature positioners.

20,000lbs Force Roller Screw
The planetary roller screw design offers multiple advantages when compared to hydraulic, ball screw, acme lead screws and pneumatic cylinders. Some of the leading advantages include increased loads, faster accelerations and less maintenance.

High-Speed Belt Drive
Parker’s HPLA belt drive positioners are designed to rapidly shuttle payloads to multiple locations along a linear travel path. A unique composite roller wheel bearing design is coupled with a timing belt and pulley drive mechanism to provide long quiet travel at high speed and high acceleration. These proven performers (thousands of units in operation worldwide) serve as the primary building blocks for Parker pre-engineered gantry systems or customer designed multi-axis automation systems.

OEM Barcode Systems
Designed for embedded applications, the MS-3 series meets demanding space and budget requirements while offering an exceptional feature-set. The MS-3 series provides exceptional versatility in size and functionality.

At 1,000 decodes per second, the MS-3 Laser offers the fastest read performance in the class of embedded compact bar code scanners. The wide scan angle of 70 degrees coupled with ultra-compact size and flexible mounting make the MS-3 the optimal choice for high-speed reading in OEM instruments.
