This video shows a large scale gantry robot pallet handling system. The gantry system is 18' x 20' and features X, Y, and Z gantries.
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.
In 1999 Macron delivered its first large scale sorting gantry, capable of distributing totes to 1,700 individual compartments!
We have experience developing automation solutions for the packaging industry, just like this carton automation system.
Macron multi-axis robotic automation systems are used in a high speed, DVD packaging fulfillment order application.
In this video, two MacBUILT dual independent belt drive units were piggybacked to provide actuation of 4 independently controlled carts. The carts were specifically modified for the application. This system was for a bottling line packaging operation where bottles were transferred and separated during the transfer process to provide programmable spacing or gap between products.
