Join us for a free on demand webinar with Parker Hannifin Electromechanical & Drives Division. With more demand for customized equipment, there is growing interest in flexible automation solutions. These are configurable and scalable and account for variances in payload and speed, among other parameters. In this webinar you’ll learn how configurable and scalable mechanics make flexible automation for machine builders a reality. Specifically, the webinar examines a range of linear motion components with a focus on the benefits of electric actuators including greater energy efficiency, flexibility and control.

-Expensive or
impossible to
convert
Fixed Automation
• Often called ‘Hard
Automation’
• Fixed sequence of
operations
• Often basic linear or rotary
motion
• Fluid power

8. #DWwebinar
Programmable
Automation
• Accommodate program
changes
• Manual change-over -Moderate flexibility
(product changes)
-Infrequent batch
style production
-Downtime with
changeover
-Higher initial
investment

Flexible Automation
• Often called ‘Soft Automation’
• Typically Electromechanical
Motion
• Extension of Programmable
Automation
-Minimal downtime
-Multiple products/
processes
-Better overall cost

What is Configurable & Scalable
Automation?
Actuation
designed for
flexible equipment
that can solve a
broader range of
application
demands must
be scalable!
Scale must account for application
variances such as-
Stroke Length
Payload & Moment Load
Thrust
Speed
Precision
