MDS-SB1

The MDS-SB1 is a dual X-axis cartesian gantry robot designed for synchronized linear motion in industrial automation environments. It features a belt-driven configuration with independent actuator carriages, enabling precise multi-point positioning along a shared axis. The modular design allows for flexible motor and gearbox mounting, making it suitable for integration into complex multi-axis systems. Constructed with durable aluminum and steel components, the MDS-SB1 delivers stable performance, low maintenance, and long-term reliability in high-speed 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.
