RS Automation completes a customer's 3rd Pick and Place Gantry Robotic Cell for line efficiency and labor replacement projects. Allen Bradley Servo's and PLC's with X-Y&Z axis's with RSA's Step formatted Sequenced motion software.
Gantry Applications:
Gantry robots have all their axes located above the work envelope which makes them ideal for overhead work processes. Gantry robots can be used to hold and position a variety of end-effectors such as those used in: PC board assembly, dispensing, spraying, material handling, palletizing, pick and place, water jet, plate welding, friction welding, assembly, packaging, unitizing, sorting, scanning, tray loading / unloading, camera positioning. inspection, glass cutting, printing plotting, laser cutting, flying knives, fastening and screw driving.
It has been argued that the gantry is the real workhorse of modern industry. Think about it… millions of gantry robots have been packaged and sold into turn-key machines such as those used for assembling electronic components and robotic pick and place systems alone. Even today, linear X-Y-Z gantries are the mainstay of the of machine tool co-ordinate measuring industries due to their accuracy and rigidity.
