Is a gantry right for us?
Is a gantry cheaper than a robot?
For long reach, usually yes. The longer the reach, the more a gantry wins on cost. At short reach, or when parts must be reoriented, a six-axis robot is often the better fit.
Can we add a 7th axis to a robot we already own?
Yes. A Macron robot slide carries the existing robot along a linear track so it can tend more machines or a longer line, often for less than a second robot.
Does a gantry take up floor space?
An overhead gantry mounts above the work, which keeps the floor clear for operators, forklifts and conveyors.
Running it
Who supports a Macron system after installation?
EAC is your local contact for Macron in PA, NJ, MD, DE and VA and works with the factory on spares, service and changes.
Can EAC supply the whole system, including controls?
