  • 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.
  • What is Racking in Gantry Systems?
    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 Is a Gantry Stage / Cartesian Robot?
    A precision gantry stage or gantry system is sometimes called a linear robot or Cartesian robot. Gantry robots typically provide overhead motion in 2 or 3 linear degrees of freedom (X-Y and X-Y-Z) and are often used for pick and place applications, 3D printing or laser machining, precision handling
  • What is Racking in Gantry Systems, And How Can it be Avoided?

  • Part 1 - What is Racking in Gantry Systems, and How Can it be Avoided?

  • 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
  • What You Should Know About Cartesian Robots
    are boxy, open, and their primary X-Y directional motion is regulated from above by a rectangular gantry. A lead screw or other linear actuator controls movement in the vertical, Z-direction. All Cartesian robots have this rectangular configuration, and as a result, they are sometimes called
  • What Types of Motion Can You Create with Multi-Axis Linear Systems?
    For many tasks, multi-axis linear systems - Cartesian robots, X-Y tables, and gantry systems - travel in straight lines to achieve quick point-to-point movements. But some applications, such as dispensing and cutting, require the system to follow a circular path or a complex shape that can't
