Parker Hannifin has announced the formation of a new Life Sciences Business Unit. It incorporates the full range of Parker motion and control technologies to deliver application-specific engineered solutions, from large-scale to miniature integrated systems such as closed loop electronic pressure control. As part of Parker’s Automation Group, the new business unit will be based in Hollis, NH, at the headquarters of the Pneutronics Division. The unit works with customers to develop and manufacture enabling technologies and integrated system solutions including miniature solenoid valves, miniature diaphragm pumps, filtration, seals, high purity gas generators, motion- controllers, stepper and servo motors and robotic positioning equipment. These components and sub-systems are critical to the world’s medical technologies and analytical instrumentation.
