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:

CarboSil® Thermoplastic Silicone Polycarbonate Polyurethane (TSPCU)
1/28/2021
DSM’s CarboSil® Thermoplastic Silicone Polycarbonate Polyurethane (TSPCU) is a copolymer that combines the biocompatibility and biostability of conventional silicone elastomers with the processability and toughness of thermoplastic polycarbonate-urethanes. The silicone portion of CarboSil® TSPCU works synergistically with the polycarbonate component to improve stability. This medical-grade polymer is highly biocompatible and well suited to be used in many types of medical devices.

Linear Motor Positioners: mSR Series
5/21/2015
The mSR (miniature square rail) series is made up of miniature, dual square rail guided, linear positioners designed to provide submicron level precision in two different form factors. These linear motor positioners utilize selectable levels of linear encoder technology configured to match the application need. Within the same form factor, OEMs have the option of either the precision grade mSR; the most accurate standard positioner able to achieve a repeatability of 5.0nm, or a cost competitive version; uses magnetic encoder technology for less precise applications.
