What is a gantry robot?

A Gantry Robot is an automated industrial system that can also be referred to as a Cartesian Robot or a Linear Robot. Gantry robots typically move in linear paths creating a three dimensional cubic envelope of space it can work within.

What are Liebherr area Gantry robots?

Liebherr area gantry robots are available in three different sizes. They offer all of the advantages of the trusted Liebherr linear robots and, at the same time, solve area-related tasks. The modular structure of the cross guide carrier covers a range of different widths.

What are the different types of Sage Gantry robots?

Sage Automation Gantry Robots are custom engineered to fit your needs. Common categories of Sage Gantry Robots include: Light Payload; Light/Medium Payload; Standard Payload; Heavy Payload; Extra Heavy Payload; and Large Area. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.

What is the difference between a gantry robot and an articulated arm?

A gantry robot provides enough travel to serve numerous production lines with only one robotic head. In contrast, a fixed-mount articulated arm’s limited range prevents it from palletizing more than a few adjacent production lines. However, some solutions employ an articulated arm placed on a rail or other mobile platform.

What is the end-of-arm tool of a gantry robot?

However, some solutions employ an articulated arm placed on a rail or other mobile platform. In those cases, the articulated arm has effectively become the end-of-arm tool of a gantry robot. Due to their fully customizable working footprint, and mechanical simplicity, gantry robots represent an ideal fit for multi-line palletizing scenarios.

How many axes does a gantry robot have?

While these three axes are the principle forms of movement, gantry robots may contain as few or as many axes as necessary to perform the required task. A common option is to add a fourth rotational axis, “U”, to the bottom of the Z beam.
