November 2011


Greetings!


For November, PHD takes a closer look at our Series GRA Grippers. Their small, compact precision makes them an excellent choice for many of your toughest application needs.

 

This month we examine our Solutions for the Washroom. Long life replacement actuators for commercial laundries helps reduce downtime and increase productivity.

  

Also, following our August release of PHD Plus+ and our Series ECV Cylinder, we now introduce five new animations that illustrate some of the features and advantages of these versatile electrically driven actuators.

 

To your continued automation success,


The PHD Team

Series GRA Grippers   -   10 Million Cycle Life !

 

Consistent jaw movement over the life of the gripper is the claim to fame for PHD's Series GRA Grippers. The fully supported, hardened steel jaws provide this long life with minimal wear and extremely high moment capacity. Available in four basic sizes, these true parallel motion grippers also feature large cross-section seals that contribute to the long product life.

 

GRA Gripper GroupThe low friction cam driver and mating cam drive provide high grip forces throughout the entire jaw travel while its hardcoated aluminum body delivers robust, wear resistant jaw support and rod guidance. Optional manifold porting may also eliminate cumbersome external air lines.

 

Additional options on select sizes include PHD's Series JC1SD Switches or JC1ST Two-Position Teachable Switches for jaw position indication.

"Washroom Solutions"                                 from PHD 

 

Does your job include responsibility for maintaining, managing or purchasing equipment for Industrial or Commercial Laundries? If so, PHD's latest product offerings into this market may be of interest to you. Some time back, we presented our Solutions for the Washroom brochure. Since then, we have developed many more devices that include some hard-to-find items used on many commercial machines. Manufacturers of machines like Braun, Ellis, Jensen, or Lavatec employ actuators that many times need repair or replacement. 

Cylinders with drop-in replacement convenience are just some of the components we've developed for this market. Rugged aluminum and stainless steel construction help provide long life with corrosion resistance built in.

 

PHD Laundry BrochureAdditionally, our latest eight page brochure includes a Laundry Process Flow diagram that points out many of the locations within a commercial laundry where PHD has developed solutions.

Do you operate and maintain Jensen Futurail Conveyors? PHD offers a drop-in trunion mount cylinder specifically made for those lines. How about a Unipress Triple Buck system? We provide Grippers and Rotary Actuators for their OEM devices. Jensen's Metricon Conveyor? We provide replacement Stopper cylinders and Discharge cylinders for that equipment. 

OK, maybe you're not in Industrial or Commercial Laundry at all. Tell us what industry you are in and we may already have Unique Solutions for some of the components on equipment that gives you headaches today. We are always interested in helping you find solutions to your automation problems.

Look to PHD's Unlimited Unique Solutions group to assist you with a wide variety of linear, rotary, and gripping devices for any industry!
