ON-SITE CONTAINERS Te on-site containers have effectively ‘got the lot’ – standard equipment includes the EO2-Form F3 forming machine, the Parflange 170 and Parflange 50 machines as well as units such as the Parflare Eco device for preparing Triple-Lok connectors. Te machinery park is supplemented by equipment such as workbenches and can also be arranged in accordance with individual customer requirements. Generally tubes from 6mm to 60mm can be bent and machined with this set-up. Sizes exceeding this range are produced in CPS centres represented worldwide. Te F3 WorkCenter is representative of the
workshop principle of the on-site container – this machine works completely automatically and contains the appropriate tools for tube manipulation. Tool insertion and change prove themselves to be almost child’s play because of the handling equipment specially developed for them. Tanks to automatic tool recognition, the user has only to press the start button; tube sizes from 6mm to 38/42mm can be machined in one pass with a cycle time of 20 seconds for EO2-Form or EO-3 connectors. Te Pro22 WorkCenter builds on the F3
WorkCenter design and because of its powerful drive and effective cooling is suitable for the mass production of small-to-medium tube diameters (6mm to 22mm). Te cycle time comes out at a fast six seconds, allowing this machine to operate extremely quietly and with minimum vibration. Considerably smaller but no less efficient is the easily operable Parflare Eco machine, which is used specially for flaring tubes for Triple-Lok hydraulic connectors. Te electric drive represents a clear power and time saving for the user because this machine weighs comparatively little and is therefore easy to transport. Te advantages of the on-site container programme are clear. Time-saving on- site assembly, short

transportation distances, machine set up by Parker and the release of the company’s own personnel
resources through the use of competent Parker experts make this concept highly interesting for the customer.
The PTS programme for tube identification
Te service programme for marine operations is completed by the Parker Marine Services programme: measurements under the sea surface are undertaken with the help of photogrammetry. Te experts create special photographs, from which the spatial location or three-dimensional shape of an object is determined. Tis technology is used for tasks such as salvaging wrecks. Another highlight is the PMS position monitoring system. During the offshore loading of crude oil, this technology guarantees safe, trouble-free media transportation from ship to ship.
IN SUMMARY Trough a widely diversified and technologically mature service programme, Parker can react to requirements on an individual basis and the optimum solution for the customer can be offered every time. l

Once a project is completed, thoughts will
eventually turn to preventive maintenance. Here, the Parker Tracking System Pro (PTS Pro) has proved to be very helpful. Te tubing and flange systems are provided with a barcode. Te information stored on the barcode – such as tube dimensions, material variants and manufacturing dates – is made visible via a scanner and the exact replacement of the components required can be initiated within minutes. Even if such an emergency does not occur, the PTS Pro serves as a primary planned inspection management tool.
