Application:
Gantry robot; X, Y & Z Axis for Optical Inspection
Industry: Solar Energy Panel Manufacturing
Challenge:
A product test station required an overhead transport system with integrated frame. Due to testing parameters the entire system needed to be non-reflective. Standard clear anodized aluminum components would not meet the requirement.
Solution: Macron 6 Cartesian Robot Gantry System
X axis – dual [...]

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, [...]
Continue Reading >This custom X-Y axis, double stacked gantry system and frame was engineered for use in a laboratory research and development environment by Macron. One of the challenges in designing this gantry system was that the gantry would be moving around hazardous materials, making precise movement and travel a requirement.
Macron chose two Macron 14 belt drive [...]
When one of Macron’s competitors proclaimed that a proposed automated filling and weighing system to be used in the material handling industry could not be manufactured to specifications, Macron engineers did what they do best…they met the specs!
The multi-axis XYZ system was to be used in an automated filling application which required the movement of [...]
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 [...]
This six (6) axis gantry system was designed to automate an industrial line using pick and place automation that moved two different items in two different locations (directions) at the same time.
The unique XX-YY-ZZ six axis orientation of this automated pick and place robot utilized Macron 14 linear actuators and MacFRAME extruded aluminum machinery framing. [...]
This custom automated gantry system was developed for the pharmaceutical/medical industry and serves as an automated picking system used to fill drug prescriptions. The gantry system is used in an in-hospital pharmacy where single dose prescription filling is picked, packed, and bar coded for individual patients.
The automated prescription filling system was designed when the hospital [...]
Macron engineers have designed and manufactured complex automation systems for factory automation, packaging, shipping, sorting, and a host of other motion applications. In addition to gantry robots, Macron single axis linear actuators are available in configurations up to 500 feet in length.
