This video showcases a MacSTANDARD MSA-PSC low cost linear actuator with plane bearing, which was used to develop an automated foosball table by engineering and robotics students at the University of Waterloo. The system tracks shots and kicks balls back.
Industry: Transportation Sector; Rail Vehicle Sub-Sector
Problem: A measuring sensor module required guidance and tracking over a long distance and at high speed rate. The sensor travel requirement was 36 meters at a speed of 50km/hr.
This automated motion system was designed for use in the automotive industry for moving very heavy loads from one area to another during the manufacturing process. The actuator cart for this application was a completely custom designed and manufactured by Macron mechanical motion engineers to accommodate very heavy loads.
The motion system uses custom Macron 14…
This wrap around cart, single axis linear actuator was designed for an automated bag sealing and cutting system for a client in the medical industry. Used to seal and cut IV medical bags, Macron engineers designed a wrap around cart in order to increase moment load capability of this actuator. The standard Macron 14 linear…
Macron automation engineers were tasked with designing and manufacturing an automated welding system used for welding pipes in an industrial environment. The existing method used was to weld the pipes manually by hand. The client was seeking a faster, more precise and consistent process for welding the pipes.
Special consideration was given to the beam to…
