The Chomerics Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, is launching a rapid sampling and prototyping laboratory in the Czech Republic.
The state-of-the-art facility provides customers across Europe with access to thermal interface and EMI (electromagnetic interference) material samples in ultra-fast time. Full on-site application engineering support from Parker Chomerics is available to ensure customers in sectors such as defence, aerospace, telecommunications, IT, automotive, general industrial and commercial electronics achieve speedy resolutions to their engineering challenges.
In a highly competitive global environment where time-to-market can often make the difference between product success and failure, sourcing a reliable and efficient rapid prototyping laboratory is paramount. Saving time early in the development process can help companies achieve a faster return on their R&D investment. Rapid prototyping also encourages collaboration and constructive dialogue between project stakeholders.
Representing significant capital investment, the new rapid sampling and prototyping laboratory brings these and many other benefits to manufacturers requiring thermal interface or EMI materials. By providing European customers with access to advanced machinery, Parker Chomerics can deliver high-quality standard and custom samples in short lead times.
The new facility offers a full rapid sampling and applications laboratory, including dispensed materials. Customers can bring their products to site and troubleshoot alongside a team of expert engineers.
The brand-agnostic facility houses multiple dispensing machines for liquid thermal and EMI materials. 3D printing technology is also available to create replicas of customer housings and other project-critical components to help reduce development cycle times. Laser scanning technologies enable full dimensional checks in-house in seconds, as well as fine precision dispensing and FIP aspect ratio verification.
“The new European rapid sampling and prototyping laboratory represents a major advancement for our customers who want to move quickly in their development projects,” states Keith McDonald, International Director of Sales at Parker Chomerics. “The capabilities and expertise available on site facilitate actual working sessions between customer engineers and Parker Chomerics, where we work towards optimising their dispensing process, defining optimal patterns and volumes prior to production.”
With similar facilities in Asia and North America, Parker Chomerics can now characterise materials to a multitude of machines globally and provide full brand-agnostic technical support regardless of location.
