Parker Pneumatic
Parker KV Division The design and manufacture of bespoke integrated solutions for air, gas and fluid control are the specialisation of Parker KVD. In general, a high manufacturing ingenuity in circuitry design and system expertise are required for the relevant pneumatic and electro-pneumatic control system products.
Rapid Prototyping / Rapid Manufacturing Cost and time saving
Parker KVD took its first steps into Advanced Manufacturing Technology in 1999 and since then has been applying the concept of Rapid Prototyping/Manufacturing. Many parts and products have been designed purely by these technologies. Nowadays, customers are supplied with RP and RM parts for 1 to 1000 off, of the highest quality, using in-house facilities.
From CAD drawing to Rapid Prototyping / Rapid Manufacturing With the advent of 3D CAD, the improvements in materials and new technologies such as SLS and SLA, the capability to simply translate CAD data into a physical 3D model are a reality. To supply complex sintered or moulded parts, in metal or plastic, direct from the 3D model, Parker KVD uses the ‘material on’ rather than a ‘material off’ process.
Concept models / prototypes allow: • Solid visualisation of a concept • Fast & easy communication with clients • Identification of problems with ergonomics • Quick design agreement
The Clean Room
Anaesthesia and Ventilation
At Parker KVD, the Clean Room facilities have a total floor area of 380 square metres (4092 sq.ft.) The Clean Room operates to ISO 14644-1, ISO Class 6 Standard, (FED Standard 209E, Class 1000) over the working areas, and has its own dedicated material handling area and store. It contains over 24 square metres of Laminar Flow Cabinets operating to ISO 14644-1, ISO Class 4 Standard (FED Standard 209E, Class 10). The industries serviced by this Clean Room are numerous and varied, ranging from the Semi-Conductor industry to Medical, to Precision Measurement and Instrumentation.
Unique Parker KVD control elements have been used in the enhanced performance of many gas flow management systems for years, in: • Modern operating theatres • Intensive or critical care units • Neonatal ICU Emergency resuscitation is also a very important field in Life Sciences. There is a range of systems available for this application too.
Life Science Pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, fluid system controls and solutions are at the heart of many advanced technologies such as:
Dental - Air Abrasion Systems A compact system for the control of gas, fluid and abrasive within this procedure was produced here.
• Pharmaceuticals • Diagnostics • Medical Devices
With Parker KVD’s own in-house rapid prototyping, innovational design can be brought into production within weeks, from foot controls to suction and air polishing systems etc.
• Analytical Instrumentation • Medical Research Products • Semiconductor Handling • Healthcare Systems
