Contributed by Tim Faillo, Global Program Manager – Factory Automation, Parker Hannifin Modern factories have come to rely on industrial networks to make their sensors and actuators “smarter.” The use of smart sensors, such as Continuous Position Sensors (CPSs), offers a route toward realizing smart motion control in pneumatic systems. These intelligent devices offer more advanced, […]
Virtual Engineer tool from Parker Hannifin gives users intuitive interface for simplified design processes
A new motion control design tool for engineers from Parker Hannifin Corp. aims to help with the proper selection of electromechanical and pneumatic linear motion. Dubbed Virtual Engineer, the free online tool is an intuitive interface where users can easily enter their application specifications, (for example, speed, load, external forces) and then quickly navigate to […]
Parker and HMS Industrial Networks partner for valve control communications
HMS Industrial Networks has shipped its five-millionth Anybus product to Parker Hannifin, with its Anybus CompactCom B40, which is to be used in one of Parker’s new valve control units. Anybus CompactCom will enable these valve controls to communicate on any fieldbus or industrial Ethernet network and consequently be used in any type of application, anywhere. […]
No turning back on IoT
After spending a week at the recent Hannover Fair, one comes to the inescapable conclusion that most everyone with a stake in the future of fluid power is either embracing the concepts of IoT, or is at least watching as the changes unfold. We’ve all heard the hype surrounding what’s called the fourth industrial revolution—the […]
Parker’s Air Saver decreases compressed air waste, increases productivity
At PackExpo last month, Parker Hannifin highlighted its Air Saver Unit, which allows for easy adjustment of impulsed air flow to blow off contaminants, clean, move, and agitate products. Additionally, the company launched an updated suite of 15 apps to help properly size compressed air devices to reduce energy and waste. After a soft launch […]
