PARKER POWERS PACKAGING
You can save money by using a much less costly PLC, like the 1769-L32E, and still get up to 16 axes of motion. Save thousands of dollars per machine - even after the Parker motion controller is added. Ethernet/IP is used to communicate from Parker's ACR motion controller to the Allen Bradley PLC and to the CTC Touch Panel. You can command/control/monitor motion and exchange I/O data to/from the 1769-L32E. Click for more info. Easily connect to the 1769-L32E with Xpress. View the exact same screens that the operator sees from anywhere in the world and from virtually any PC with a web browser. Click for more info. Parker's ACR9040 uses Ethernet Powerlink as a lighting fast motion bus. It can control up to 16-axes of motion, manage 16+ tasks, and appears as an Ethernet/IP node in the RSLogix software. Click for more info. Ethernet Powerlink (EPL) is a lighting-fast, Ethernet-based motion bus. The highly deterministic motionbus is ideal for tightly coordinated and interpolation motion. Parker's implementation requires NO understanding of bus systems. Simply plug the Cat5 Ethernet cable to the ACR9040 and then to the Compax3 and/or the Aries EPL drives. Parker has a full line of I/O blocks for adding inputs and outputs to your application. This full line of digital and analog inputs and outputs operate over the CANopen bus. Click for more info. The Aries EPL drive is an economical digital servo drive solution. It comes in three models providing continuous output power from 0.4kW to 1.3kW. They are ideally suited for use as a slave axis using EPL and controlled by the ACR9040. Click for more info. The Compax3 is a high performance industrial digital servo drive solution. It comes in two form factors: stand-alone and multi-axis (common bus) versions. The 17 models provide continuous output power from .5kW to 100kW. Category 3 safety is standard on all models - with advanced safety available. They are ideally suited for use as a slave axis using EPL and controlled by the ACR9040. Click for more info. When belt driven actuators are not precise enough, when screw driven tables are not fast enough, turn to Parker's Linear Motor tables. These positioning tables combine speed and accuracy. An additional benefit to linear motor technology is very low settling times - increasing the amount of parts that can be produced. Click for more info. Parker's MPP and BE motor lines sets the standard for dynamic response. These low inertia motors offer the ability to accelerate faster which directly reduces cycle times. The continuous torque ranges from 1.4 to 4500 in-lbs. Solve any application! Click for more info. Parker's line of reducers is powerful and robust. They integrate perfectly with Parker's motors and actuators. Choose from many reduction ratios in either standard or right-angle configurations. Click for more info. Parker's HPLA and ERV belt-driven linear actuators are designed specifically for high speed and long travels. They are perfect for transfer axes, diverting applications and pick and place projects. Click for more info. Parker's ET-series of ball-screw driven thrust cylinders are ideal for positioning and thrust applications. The continuous output force can be as high as 10,000 lbs.

Pack Expo

Come to Parker's Pack Expo booth at Chicago's McCormick Place to see Parker’s innovative technology on display.

Parker's booth at Pack Expo in 2007 attracted hundreds of visitors to see the exciting new Interact Xpress distributed HMI.
Visitors interacted with Parker’s newest machine controller - boasting a lightning-fast Ethernet-based motion bus – remotely with the Xpress product.
Visitors were amazed with the connectivity, capability and simplicity the two products offer.

HMI:
Interact XpressTM offers an affordable solution for multi-site, multi-station and standalone machine HMI applications where remote control, monitoring and support are desirable. Interact Xpress software is pre-installed and bundled with Parker CTC’s new XPR PowerStation hardware: NEMA4/4X-rated XPR PowerStations available in 6”, 8” and 10” TFT touch-screen displays. Xpress comes with drivers ready to communicate to Parker's controllers as well as virtually any PLC on the market.

 

Machine Control with Ethernet-based Motion Bus:
Parker’s ACR9000 family of digital machine controllers have added ETHERNET Powerlink to its platform: the ACR9040. This lightning-fast, deterministic, Ethernet-based motion bus greatly simplifies and speeds the installation and commissioning processes. Complete with Ladder Logic, the ACR9000 family can solve the most complex machine-control applications integrating up to 16 axes of servo control.

 

Servo Drives with Ethernet-based Motion Bus:
Parker’s family of Compax3 drives has expanded to include the ETHERNET Powerlink Motion Bus. Available in several different form factors, the Compax3 fits any application: single-axis and “bookshelf-styled” multi-axis units. Both form factors can be used with Parker’s motion bus or as a single-axis standalone, decentralized controller that is programmed using IEC61131-3. The single family of Compax3 drives range in power from less than 1kW to over 100kW in 17 models. For lighter-duty applications, look to the Aries drive with ETHERNET Powerlink.

 

High-bandwidth Servo Motors:
Parker’s MPP motor line incorporates leading-edge technology in the design. Continuous output torque can reaches 4000 in-lbs and all these motors can be customized to meet the demands of any application. The MPP motors are available in very dynamic low-inertia rotor design and also a higher inertia version for better control in higher load situations. Utilize Parker’s full customization ability to source a motor with special design needs.

 

Gearheads:
Parker’s Stealth PV series of gearheads combines power, versatility and performance in a single package. The PV series’ innovative, maintenance-free design, high axial-load capability and flexibility to mount to nearly any motor make this product’s value second to none.

 

Linear Actuators:
From Parker’s HPLA high-speed roller-bearing belt drives to the HD, a ballscrew driven industrial table providing exceptional beam strength and carriage stiffness, Parker’s linear drives are suitable for the most rigorous applications. For smaller/lighter loads and where space is at a premium, Parker’s XE series and the PROmech series are the industry choice for linear motion.

 

Linear Thrust Cylinders:
Parker’s ET series combines an unparalleled, robust design with a variety of options that make it very easy to integrate. The ET series can mount into existing fluid power cylinder applications, adding infinite programmability to the durability and long life expected of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The ET comes in 9 ISO mounting possibilities and 5 profile sizes, and it can provide thrust forces up to 10,000lbf.

 

High-bandwidth Linear Servo Motors:
If the combination of Parker’s MPP motors and linear actuators doesn’t provide the speed and accuracy needed, look at Parker’s full line of linear motor technology. Parker has both high- and low-force linear motors. With a complete line of ironless (I-Force) and ironcore (RIPPED) linear motors and linear motor positioners, packagers are sure to find both the speed and precision needed in today’s high-throughput applications.
