Gantry Robots for Industrial Automation
Maintenance-free, easily customizable, automated gantry solutions
igus® gantry robots, also known as cartesian or linear robots, consist of two base X-axes, a Y-axis, and an optional Z-axis. Their self-lubricating plastic liners have been engineered to slide instead of roll, running smoother and quieter than recirculating ball bearings. Our gantry robots are also lightweight, clean, quiet, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free. They provide rapid ROI, cost up to 40% less than traditional gantries, and can be easily programmed with our free robot control software. They’re ideal for applications with two primary sets of parameters: low speeds and high loads, or high speeds and low loads. Customization is also available based on application-specific parameters, with choices of different stroke lengths and accessories such as couplings, assembly plates, mechanical switches, and motor flanges. Try out our free online tool to configure your own custom gantry robot today!
