Parker Hannifin Resource: Solutions in Laser Manufacturing

Laser processing quality is directly tied to motion performance, where even slight vibrations or inconsistencies can impact edge finish and reliability. As laser tools advance, the motion systems driving them must deliver the same level of precision as the laser itself. This resource from Parker Hannifin outlines their portfolio of electromechanical motion solutions, including the XLM and XR linear positioners, and the I-Force and RIPPED series linear motors. Parker motion control solutions are specifically engineered to provide stable, repeatable motion for applications like cutting, drilling, and additive manufacturing. This precision is perfect for specialty machinery, and OEMs that use lasers in their machines.  Take a look at the bulletin for more information and reach out to a Cross Automation expert to find the right component for your project,

Did you know… Cross Company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Our ESOP started in 1979 and as of 2006, we are 100% employee-owned! Learn more about our ESOP and how that benefits both team members and our customers.
Did you know... the precision measurement group at Cross was founded in 1939 by our current CEO's grandfather, Jim King. That's a whole lot of calibration!
Did you know... A fingerprint weighs about 50 micrograms. We know, we weighed it! The residue left from a finger can actually make a difference in weight results which is why we wear gloves when we calibrate weights. For reference, a sheet of paper is about 4.5 grams, that’s 4.5 million micrograms.
Did you know… Cross Company has grown significantly since our start in 1954. Over the years we've acquired 26 companies! Today, our five groups have expertise in everything from industrial automation to precision measurement, and industry knowledge going all the way back to 1939.
