The Precision Fluidics Division of Parker Hannifin announced the release of the new Parker LM-Pro linear motor proportional valve targeted at the respiratory and anesthesia markets. “The Parker LM-Pro miniature proportional valve utilizes a patent-pending linear motor actuation technology to enable flow up to 540 slpm in a very compact and energy efficient package, while […]
So you bought a VSD compressor — Now what?
Congratulations, variable speed drive compressors can save you lots in avoided electricity costs — the invention of this type of compressor has helped to save millions of dollars across the world. These compressors consume only the electricity required of them, they track the compressed air flow up and down and adjust the speed of the […]
Pneumatic cylinders that talk back
Air cylinders and actuators are renowned for simplicity, economy and long-time durability in countless motion-control applications. The devices typically provide basic linear motion and perform faultlessly and unnoticed for years. Increasingly, however, many newer equipment designs and automation systems demand a lot of data — even from components like air cylinders — to operate precisely […]
Oil-free scroll compressors delivers Class 0 air for small uses
Ingersoll Rand has introduced the W-Series of oil-free scroll rotary air compressors, offering whisper-quiet operation. Scroll compressors meet a broad spectrum of oil-free needs for commercial applications that require contamination-free air, low maintenance and a smaller footprint. “Ingersoll Rand now offers a true, complete oil-free solution that guarantees reliable, pure air while reducing waste, inefficiencies […]

Known for reliability, innovation and focus on precision flow controls, Clippard’s new Eclipse utilizes the industry’s most robust and powerful miniature linear actuator. This patent pending stepper-controlled proportional valve will lead the industry in performance and durability, the company said. The Eclipse is ideal in critical applications for liquid and gas delivery, medical, analytical and […]
Bag grippers help keep roads ice-free
At the company Sapho GmbH, a company of the Bilgram Chemie Group, the old bag gripper no longer provided the necessary performance. The regions of southern Germany, Austria, and parts of France are supplied by Sapho with de-icing salt from its up to 50,000 tons of salt warehouse, which is partly filled from May to […]
Robotics is driving a manufacturing revolution
Robots of future will cost less, run safer, improve productivity and adapt their operations on the fly. Contributed by Donna Ritson, President, DDR Communications I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, on a research study exploring the state of the robotics industry, its key markets, recent […]
