  1. Developing A Life Science Instrument Isn't Magic, It's All In The Process 2/5/2015

    Motion system development can seem like quite the daunting task to an OEM developing a new life science instrument. Parker Hannifin has decades of experience in refining the product development process. Regardless if you're interested in a high precision system positioning optics to observe a handful of cells, or simply looking for a robotic system transporting micro plates or test tubes within a lab, our staff of engineers know the right questions to ask to get your machine to market in a time that keeps you on the cutting edge, and the quality systems in place that will ensure your machine performs to specification regardless if you're making 10 instruments, or 10,000 instruments. With core competencies in electromechanical positioning, servo motors, power electronics as well as controls - Parker's electromechanical division provides OEM's with three selectable levels of product integration:

  2. Precision Orifices (For Plastics) 5/18/2015

    The IMH Precision Orifices for plastic installation are miniature flow restrictors with a simple, press-in design for easy installation. With forward and reverse flow directions for both liquids and gases, these orifices are economical, reliable, and highly accurate.

  3. Hybrid Connectors 5/31/2010

    The new Hybrid from Colder eliminates the need for multiple connections and simplifies the user interface between remote tools and a device. It features an easy-to-use twist latch to securely connect everything in one simple motion.

  4. Complex Optical Systems for Medical Applications 11/23/2011

    II-VI Optical Systems has increased its presence in the medical technology arena by applying their vast experience in precision space and defense technology to medical applications where that precision can lead to better diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes.

  5. Miniature Liquid Control Valves 5/5/2015

    Parker Precision Fluidics offers a wide range of miniature liquid control valves used in medical device product development.  These liquid control valves offer a broad range of specs that span a variety of medical device applications like radioactive liquids used in MRI, analytical chemistry, and clinical diagnostic applications.  Parker’s liquid control valves are ideal for these applications offering chemical resistance, non-corroding, high pressure / high flow, and rugged features.

  6. Polyester Etch Foil Heaters 10/15/2015

    The new HEATFLEX polyester etch foil heaters from HEATRON are designed to utilize advanced circuit imaging combined with chemical etching in order to allow designers to distribute wattage while creating multiple heat patterns in a single heater. These heaters are constructed using an etched foil heating element, and are available with custom watt density and multi-zone controls for added efficiency.

  7. 600 SmartImage Sensor 8/17/1998
    DVT has developed the first smart image sensor that has high-resolution imaging (640 x 480 pixels) capabilities, combined with network communications (ethernet and fieldbus) that make it the ideal SmartFactory tool
  8. PLC Series: Couplings 12/18/2007
    The 1/4" flow PLC Series is the most popular group of couplings from Colder. Proven worldwide in thousands of applications, the PLC line offers the widest selection of sizes and configurations. PLC couplings are injection molded from acetal thermoplastic and are durable and resistant to most mild chemical solutions.
  9. Avalanche Photodiode (APD) LLAM Series 4/29/2013

    Excelitas Technologies’ LLAM series of Silicon and InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APD) receiver modules feature an APD, thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and a hybrid, all in the same hermetically-sealed modified 12-lead TO-66 flange package for increased heat sinking. The use of a TEC ensures lower noise and constant responsivity over a 5⁰C to 40⁰C ambient temperature range.

  10. From Concept Through To Finished Product 3/3/2009
    Imagine an x-ray is taken and within 6 seconds the technician will know if the picture quality is accurate. IDC (Imaging Dynamics Company, Ltd.) had this vision and ELCAN brought this vision to life.
