Parker Canada Division’s Weld Retract Actuator Eliminates Water During Tip Changes
Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies releases its Weld Retract Actuator (WRA) reflecting Parker’s continued commitment to innovation. The WRA technology retains water in the system when activated allowing for a dry tip change. The weld cell will experience reduced down time associated with clean up, and machines and operators will not be in contact with hazardous weld water. The water stays in the system decreasing costly chemical and water waste.
The Parker Water Retract Actuator uses Parker’s proven cylinder and actuation technology in an aluminum construction, with stainless steel and composite materials compatible with all cooling water fluids. The Viking Lite series valve provides reliable and precise operation of the pneumatic control. The Parker Water Retract Actuator allows any water cooled weld gun to virtually eliminate all water expulsion during a tip changeover.
With annual sales of $13 billion in fiscal year 2013, Parker Hannifin is the world’s leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems. Strong competitive advantages, a clear strategy and goals, consistent execution and performance, and many opportunities for growth, have allowed the company to consistently deliver strong shareholder returns. Parker has increased its annual dividends paid to shareholders for 57 consecutive fiscal years, among the top five longest-running dividend-increase records in the S&P 500 index.
