This is a Mac Built, Macron 14 actuator, 150 feet long, but still not the longest one we've ever built - a whopping 225 feet long!
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.
In 1999 Macron delivered its first large scale sorting gantry, capable of distributing totes to 1,700 individual compartments!
This high speed Macron 14 moves at a speed of 40 feet per second and demonstrates the incredible speeds that can be achieved with Macron belt driven linear actuators.
