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 client sought solution to handle the programmable dispensing of adhesives for part of an automated packaging system. Macron Dynamics worked in conjunction with a distribution partner to design and manufacture a two axis XY, low cost gantry for this programmable adhesive dispensing application.
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…
The Macron 14 H linear actuator is designed for heavy duty automation applications found in different industries. This automation system was designed for use in an industrial shop environment where large, heavy pieces of glass are cut.
The glass cutting process where this system was installed had previously been carried out by hand. In order to…
This XY motion system used dual Macron 14 linear actuators to ensure extremely tight accuracy specifications were maintained in the manufacturing of window frames. The smooth operating, zero backlash belt driven actuators allowed that each part of the window frame would be brought together consistently and accurately each time for welding. The motion system was…
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…
