Application Examples Application Examples Gantry Robot Pick and Place Application The HDS2 system contains all the major components to produce high capacity gantry systems such as that shown below. The extreme rigidity of the construction beams 1 allow for long unsupported spans up to 6m depending on load. The use of V slides 2 on one side of the X axis and flat tracks 3 on the other makes allowances for the variation in parallelism between the two beams. The common drive shaft 4 allows for the Y axis to be driven from both X axis beams, via the integrated racks on both the V slide and flat tracks....
