MBS PickStar GL System Q & A

+ What is the MBS PickStar GL system and what applications is it suitable for?
The MBS PickStar GL system is a modular sliding (push-off) material handling track system designed by Robotunits that allows short sliding sections and push-off stations in production lines. It can be used in industries such as assembly, logistics, Kanban racks, storage tracks, carts, workstations and sliding matter in automated or semi-automated material flow. Because of its modular nature, it’s especially good where you need flexibility in layout, quick re-configuration, and integration with existing aluminum extrusion frameworks.
+What are the main technical specifications of the MBS PickStar GL?
The MBS PickStar GL system offers standard track lengths up to 1200 mm and can handle loads of approximately 1.5 kg per rail without a guide or up to 2.5 kg per rail with a guide. It is built from anti-static PVC-U rails and ESD-conductive PA6 adapter materials, ensuring suitability for sensitive environments like electronics manufacturing. The track width and inclination angle are adjustable, allowing operators to customize system performance. Surface resistance is rated below 100 GΩ, and the entire assembly is compatible with Robotunits’ modular fastening technology.
+ What applications and industries benefit most from the MBS PickStar GL?
The MBS PickStar GL system is ideal for industries that require controlled sliding motion for small parts or component transfer. Common applications include workstations, assembly cells, storage racks, Kanban and lean manufacturing setups, and production environments where space and flexibility are essential. Its ESD safety and clean, low-maintenance design make it particularly useful in electronics, medical device, and precision assembly industries, as well as in logistics and distribution centers looking to optimize material flow.
+How flexible and configurable is the MBS PickStar GL system?
This system is highly configurable and designed for fast layout adjustments. The track width and incline angle can be modified without the need for specialized tools, and new sections can be added easily thanks to its modular structure. Because it integrates seamlessly with the Robotunits Modular Automation System, it allows quick expansion or reconfiguration as production needs change. The simple connection design reduces both assembly time and the number of parts required, which makes it ideal for facilities that need frequent process adjustments.
+ How easy is the MBS PickStar GL to install and maintain?

The PickStar GL system is built for quick, intuitive installation. Its snap-in connectors and standardized extrusions eliminate the need for welding or specialized assembly tools. Maintenance is minimal since the system uses only a few multifunctional components, reducing spare parts inventory and complexity. The tight-fitting covers help protect against dirt and debris, while the low-noise sliding design reduces wear. Robotunits also provides downloadable installation guides, CAD files, and videos to support easy setup and maintenance over time.
