In this video, two MacBUILT dual independent belt drive units were piggybacked to provide actuation of 4 independently controlled carts. The carts were specifically modified for the application. This system was for a bottling line packaging operation where bottles were transferred and separated during the transfer process to provide programmable spacing or gap between products.
Macron Dynamics has introduced the new MacBUILT Stainless Steel SSR Series Actuator. The new actuator is engineered to meet the demands of corrosive environments and sanitation requirements found in food processing, sanitary, and other wash-down automation applications. MacBUILT actuators and belt drives are modular in design, allowing for customized configurations of travel lengths, cart type and orientation, drive and guidance components. The new SSR Series Actuator offers end-users the same customization benefits found in all MacBUILT actuators with the advantage of stainless steel construction and components.
This multi-axis system was engineered for use in the food service industry. The application called for very high accelerations and heavy lifting.
The automated stacking machine, as it could be described, moved, relocated and repositioned pallets from one location to another. Macron mechanical motion engineers opted to customize a Macron 14 and 14 Z vertical travel…
