  • XY Tables: How Do They Differ from Cartesian and Gantry Systems?
    was designed for. In many industrial applications, Cartesian and gantry-style robots are prevalent, but in precision applications, XY tables are often the better choice, due to their compact, rigid structure and very high travel and positioning accuracy.
  • Case Studies [Positioning Switch] : Detected Deviation of the X-Y Axes of a Machining Table
    Metrol's IP67 waterproof "Precision Positioning Switch" can demonstrate 0.5 repeatability even under harsh environment in machine tools where coolant and cutting chips splatter.
  • What is Racking in Gantry Systems, And How Can it be Avoided?
    Gantries differ from other types of multi-axis systems (such as Cartesian robots and XY tables) by using two base (X) axes in parallel, with a perpendicular (Y) axis connecting them. While this dual X-axis arrangement provides a wide, stable footprint and allows gantry systems to deliver high load

  • What Makes A Linear Stage Different From Other Types Of Linear Motion Systems?
    and operating principles. Case in point: The term "actuator" typically refers to a linear motion system with an aluminum housing that encloses the guide and drive mechanisms; systems referred to as "tables," or "XY tables," are commonly designed with a flat baseplate to which the guide and drive components

    and XY tables as well as machine and dovetail slides. Non-motorized slides include dovetail, roller and ball bearing varieties, which allow for movement with a minimum of friction, whether the slide is powered manually or through resistance. Regardless of the bearing type â€" ball, dovetail, fluid
  • What is a Split Bridge System and How Does it Differ from a Gantry?
    Multi-axis linear systems come in a variety of designs, with Cartesian, gantry, and XY tables being some of the most common types. While these designs simplify construction and can provide space savings, they also introduce "stacking " errors -- the compounding of errors from each axis, which
