Depending on their size, the shuttles carry a weight of 0.6 to 14 kg and move at a speed of up to 2 m / s. They can move two-dimensionally as well as change their floating height and they can be rotated or tilted along three axes. The system therefore has six degrees of freedom.

ACOPOS 6D enables a shuttle density up to four times as high as other systems on the market, as several shuttles can run on one motor segment at the same time. The shuttles can also be used as axes in processing stations.
