Precision Fluidics System Overview for Life Science | Parker Hannifin

Parker Hannifin announces the release of an automated fluid-handling demo targeting the healthcare and life science industry. This highly engineered system is the result of a joint development effort between Parker's Electromechanical Motion and Drives and Precision Fluidics Divisions.
"Our goal was to develop a system utilizing the motion control, pneumatic and liquid components that Parker manufactures. In addition to showcasing Parker's extensive breadth of product, we are also highlighting our system engineering capabilities, a substantial part of our business that continues to see large year-over-year growth rates."

The automated fluid-handling demo is made up of products from four of Parker's eight operating groups (Motion Systems, Filtration, Fluid Connector and Engineered Materials). "The purpose of this demo is two-fold," says Mike Szesterniak, Product Manager at the Electromechanical Automation division. "It helps our customers visualize how they can use our products in the systems they are designing and building, and it presents Parker as a major player and thought-leader in the life science industry."
