Before you read to the end, do you know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is? Don’t lie and don’t cheat.
WD-40. Who knew? I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around [...]
This system was developed as a prototype to replace an existing pick and place automation system from a competitor. The pick and place system is used in the clothing manufacturing industry and is an integral part of the clients packaging automation.
Multiple Macron 6 belt driven linear actuators were used along with customized MacFRAME machinery framing.
In the aerospace industry, inspection of components is vital to success and safety. This ball screw positioning table was developed when a client in the aerospace industry approached Macron engineers about designing a table for inspecting panels. The system utilized a Macron XY dual rail positioning table which had a device attached to it to [...]
Continue Reading >This large automated gantry system spans a grid of 45 feet by 27 feet of travel. Developed by Macron for use as a calibrating and inspection tool, the gantry masks a large military tracking system used to monitor the location of fighter jets. In order to calibrate and check the accuracy of the tracking system, [...]
