Macron Dynamics recently provided a 2-axis X/Z gantry solution for palletizing that met requirements for the KwikPall palletizing system, a standardized, simply designed and economic palletizer.
An Macron integrator partner had to provide a large scale cartesian gantry system with X-axis travel of 44 feet and Y-axis travel of 21 feet with a heavy payload capacity of 330 pounds. Whereas there was some deflection allowance in the Y-axis, the design would not allow the use of steel to cover the span. Due to overall system height constraints, creating an aluminum truss work to accommodate the span was a problem.
A low cost dispensing gantry with stepper motors was constructed from four Macron PSC belt drive actuators and an affordable screw actuator.
Repeatable to within .005" and geared down for slower speeds, the system performed liquid sampling for a drug discovery program.
H-Bot gantries from Macron Dynamics feature a lightweight and modular design, allowing systems to reach areas in large envelopes at a high speed and with high repeatability.
Macron Dynamics pilot T-Bot robotic pick and place system demonstrates the long stroke lengths possible with a single belt robot.
This innovative "platform machine" is an H-Bot capable of providing high-speed X/Y motion and coupled to a novel 4 post Z-axis screw lift system, providing a 3-axis Cartesian motion control.
Our high speed, high performance X/Y H-Bot linear robot is constructed of a simple design, a single belt driving both axes.
