Gantry Robots excell in situation where area, speed and flexibility are required. Because the Gantry Robot sits above the working area and does not take additional space solutions are relatively compact.
The portal frame is expandable in all dimensions allowing the Gantry Robots to access any required locations.
Direct fast, point to point movements. Unlike an articulated arm robot the gantry movements are straight not spherical.

Evenly distributed floor loading at the legs of the Portal frame of the Gantry Robot.
Single gantry robot can handle multiple lines to palletise move or store.
Applications
- Palletising across Multiple Lines
- De-Palletising
- Storing totes
- Buffering Cases or Totes
- Central palletisers
Main Benefits
- Compact layout
- Size and throughput expandable in the future
- Direct fast, point to point movements
- Evenly distributed floor loading
- Single gantry robot can handle multiple lines to palletise move or store
Technical Features
- All XYZ movements of the Gantry Robot are controlled by servo drives. Therefore our Gantry system is accurate to a couple of millimetres
- Steel reinforced toothed belts drive the axes. These are precise, quiet in operation, long lasting and easy to maintain.
- Up to 4 Gantry Robots can share the same working area. This makes our Gantry system ideal for applications such as palletising and order picking as multiple robots have Different solutions available to minimise the head height required by the Gantry system. The standard Gantry Robot has a fixed axis that is at least as long as the height of the pallet. An optional telescopic axis can half the Z axis and the Z-NIX axis can reduce the height above the pallet to little more than that required by the Gripper.
- Our software is open source, -no black box- based on Beckhoff Soft PLC and programmed in Codesys.
- Gripping can be by Vacuum, Magnet or Mechanical Clamping in rows, stacks or as individual packs.
