How to Choose a Multi-Axis Gantry Manipulator?

Multi-axis gantry manipulators utilize a robust gantry structure, providing unparalleled rigidity and stability. They can be configured with three or more additional axes to meet the most demanding heavy-duty, high-speed, and large-scale automation application requirements.

Features:

• Gantry frame for excellent rigidity and stability
• Highest load capacity, capable of handling extremely heavy workpieces
• Modular design, stroke and structure can be customized as needed
• Integrates with various end effectors, wide range of applications

Advantages:

• Unparalleled stability: Double-support structure ensures no swaying during high-speed operation, guaranteeing long-term accuracy.
• Highest load capacity: Designed specifically for handling heavy workpieces (such as engines, tires, molds).
• Suitable for harsh environments: Its robust structure enables stable operation under heavy loads and high-frequency conditions.

Five-Step Selection Method:
1. Define the working conditions: What tasks do you need the gantry rail to perform? (Loading/unloading, welding, palletizing, handling, inspection, painting, etc.)
2. Determine the load: What is the weight of the workpiece or end effector being gripped?
3. Measure the stroke: Single-axis or multi-axis stroke; what is the maximum range of movement required by the robot? (Length in the X, Y, and Z directions)
4. Evaluate the layout: Considering the available floor space, factory height, and working conditions, can the equipment be installed?
5. Confirm cycle time and accuracy: What are the requirements for efficiency, speed, and positioning accuracy?
