The new patent pending Macron CLAWS vertical arrest system alleviates one of your main concerns about belt driven actuators used in vertical motion applications: What if the belt brakes? Macron actuators are robust and constructed of durable materials, however there is potential for a belt to fail due to a variety of conditions including misuse, overloading, shock loading, crashes, jams, over torque from drive system, or contamination.
Macron Dynamics Inc. has announced that a MacSTANDARD line of screw driven actuators will be introduced this summer. The MacSTANDARD line of products is designed to provide an ‘off-the-shelf’ solution suitable for industrial linear motion, robotics, and automation applications.
“The new MacSTANDARD screw actuators will offer the same quality, reliability, and features as our custom engineered…
A biotechnology company was in need of a simple high-speed pick and place XYZ Cartesian robot gantry system. The system required robust stiffness and high accuracy. Pick head travel and traverse movement were required to be direct, precise, and within the shortest time and route possible.
The MacBUILT HBG gantry system is comprised of a single belt robot with 2 fixed position motor mounting locations to control and enable X and Y axis motion. This architecture does not require a motor to be mounted to the Y axis, which reduces the axis load and associated cable management and results in lower inertia and a higher speed of performance. This composition allows for high-speed, high-precision motion.
A material handling system integrator required an economical solution for the vertical lift transfer of product carrying totes from one level of a horizontal conveyor to multiple option horizontal conveyors. The company had very little open floor space, so the system had to be created using mostly vertical space. Macron created a custom solution for this company’s inquiry including a custom MacBUILT actuator featuring a specialized length, custom carts, and a unique pulley system.
Macron Dynamics Inc. has announced the development of a product line featuring scalable, cost effective, single belt driven robotic gantries suitable for pick and place applications. “Macron has introduced a line of belt driven X/Z gantry systems with fixed motor mounting,” says Steve Evers, director of business development. “These gantry systems are perfect for pick and place processes requiring automated transfer of products from feed conveyors to final package assemblies,” he says.
