PaR's originating company, Programmed and Remote Systems Corporation, was spun off in 1961 from General Mills to design and build remote manipulators, nuclear fuel handling systems, and nuclear fuel storage racks. In 1981, PaR introduced its first industrial gantry robot. PaR manufactures a family of gantry robots and telerobotic manipulators. Robotic systems are supplied to industries where high precision, heavy payloads, and a large variety of work-envelopes are best served by a gantry robot. Vector gantry robots are used for medium envelope applications to mill, rout, and waterjet-cut materials for a variety of industrial applications.
PaR has complete engineering and manufacturing capabilities for custom robot applications.
Super configurations provide positioning of 12,000 pounds with over 400 feet of travel. PaR has demonstrated its expertise in very complex custom robotic solutions for demanding applications.
