A vending machine is moved by an X-Y mechanism having two stationary drive motors (164, 182) having tension elements (162, 180) that position horizontally and vertically sliding components (170, 172, 174, 188). A separation and selection system uses a rotator (66) to release a product from a tray and a gate (68) to separate the products into two columns on the tray. A lever (64) mechanically links these components (66, 68). There is one slider (84) on the tray and one rotator (66), gate (68), lever (64) mechanism per pair of product column in each display tray. The slider (84) moves products off the tray.
