Gantry Machining of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic
and torsional rigidity while driving the load, and allowed for direct mounting and inertia matching of the servo motor. The sides of the gantry were timed together electronically in a master/slave setup for smooth operation and motion of the gantry. As a result, the gantry machine was able to achieve...

Motion Control - A shortcut to sizing motors
the product of the current and voltage, assuming no phase shift between them. The power out of the motor will be positive, since it supplies mechanical power and is simply the product of the rotational speed and torque. A motion-control example includes a gantry-type drive mechanism. It uses a 38-mm...

Linear Motors Offer Precise Positioning and Highly Dynamic Response for Many Motion-Control Task
and improve productivity. For example, a laser, water jet, or router with two heads on the gantry run by linear motors can simultaneously cut two symmetrical or mirror image parts, thus saving considerable raw material. When moving large and heavy gantry-style slides, multiple primary sections mounted...
