MDS-M6S

The MDS-M6S is a compact cartesian gantry robot designed for precision linear motion in space-constrained industrial automation environments. Featuring a belt-driven configuration with a low-profile aluminum frame, it provides smooth, accurate movement across moderate travel lengths. Its modular design supports multiple motor and gearbox mounting options for easy integration into custom multi-axis systems. Built with durable materials, the MDS-M6S delivers consistent performance, minimal maintenance, and long-term reliability in light-duty applications.

  • X-X' configuration.
  • Connection Hardware and Torque Tube included with the Assembly.
  • User defined Strokes and Spacing.
  • Center Drive Right Angle Reducer offered upon request.
  • Multiple Carts Available upon request.
  • Mounting flexibility in either horizontal, vertical or inverted orientation.

Product Notes

Center-to-center spacing is the distance between each actuator cart’s center line. Each X-X’ system can be supplied with T-slot sensors, gearboxes, or motor mounting adaptors upon request. Some X-X’ systems include cable track; please refer to the Product Specification download document for the standard size. Motor sizing information is provided in the Product Specification download document. For travel requirements over standard values, contact Macron Dynamics for assistance.
