A rodless slide assembly is provided illustratively having a longitudinally-extending cylinder, a carriage, a stop assembly, and a catch assembly. The longitudinally-extending cylinder comprises first and second ends and a path of travel extending therebetween. The carriage is slidable on the path of travel on the cylinder between the first and second ends. The stop assembly comprises a stop block and is coupled to the carriage. In one embodiment the catch assembly includes a catch bar and an actuator assembly. The catch bar is located adjacent the path of travel of the carriage. The actuator assembly selectively moves the catch bar to engage the stop block and stop the carriage when the carriage is positioned at a selected location on the path of travel.
