Cartesian Robots
Cartesian Robots
Also known as ‘Gantry robots’.
Hang down from an overhead grid.
Use motors and linear actuators to position a work tool.
The grid shape area that the robot moves in, is rectangular. Can be very large, if required, and space allows.
Three directional movements, X, Y, and Z.
Very precise, due to structural rigidity.
Ideal for material handling, and straight-line component insertion applications.
Considerations when choosing a robot type.
