Cartesian Gantries

Cartesian Gantries

A gantry robot consists of a manipulator mounted onto an overhead system and allows movement across a horizontal plane. Gantry robots are also called linear or cartesian robots and are typically large systems built with linear guide rails that undertake pick and place actions, and they can also be used in applications such as welding. Cartesian gantries are relatively simple to program when compared to alternative motion control solutions, and in addition, they are not limited by floor space constraints. ALIO’s cartesian gantries are characterized by large work areas and superior positioning accuracy.
