Hazardous Environmental Remote Handling

systems are extending the reach of humans into the most hazardous environments, establishing a recognized standard of performance and reliability.

PaRs remote manipulator

Our manipulator systems, introduced four decades ago, deliver the direct control needed to safely transfer and position hazardous materials. These remotely maintainable systems can be overhead, wall, vehicle, or floor mounted and are available in up to 9 axes of motion. PaR has provided a wide variety of end of arm tools to handle in-cell waste, plasma arc cutting and performing in-cell maintenance tasks.
for applications requiring extended motion in confined spaces.

Waterjet Cutting Systems

PaRs Vector product line was developed to be a costeffective processing system with three standard size envelopes ranging from 4 x 8 to 8 x 12 with the capability of performing 2 1/2, 3 and 5 axis applications. These systems have a linear accuracy of 0.003 and repeatability of 0.001 across the entire work envelope. Accuracy is achieved by using ground linear ways, precision ball screws and laser metrology. Vector is an industrial grade, precision, versatile, waterjet cutting system that offers the flexibility to add multiple cutting heads for increased productivity or other end effectors for routing and milling applications. In addition, the system is upgradable from 3 axis to 5 axis at any time by adding a wrist and upgrading the software. All Vectors are controlled by PaRs own CIMROC5000NT. Programming and setup are easy and production times can be maintained by programming parts off-line. For a complete, affordable, industrial turnkey processing system with a fast delivery time, Vector is the solution. Service, spares and consumables can be replaced by making one toll-free phone call (1-866-PaR-Care).

& User friendly interface screens are easy to read with familiar icons.
