…the robot that's right for you. 1. Cartesian and Gantry Robots People often think Cartesian and gantry robots are the same or that their names are interchangeable – but that’s not the case. It’s true that they’re both linear robots, but each one falls into its own category because of their axis configurations. Typically, Cartesians have a base X axis, a cantilevered Y axis, and/or a Z axis that move up and down, in and out, and side to side. Gantries, however, are configured with two base X axes, a supported Y axis that spans across the two X axes,…

…booth #2432 featuring the capabilities of their LSAM dual gantry and moving table (MT) machines. LSAM is a new technology for large-scale 3D printing of thermoplastic polymers. Thermwood’s LSAM machines use technology to produce the highest quality thermoplastic polymer printed structures available. The machines feature both additive and subtractive heads to accommodate printing and trimming of large scale “near net shape” parts on the same machine. Thermwood’s LSAM machines are available in Dual Gantry and Moving Table models, in a variety of sizes. Both systems can process high temperature polymers which are ideal for autoclave capable tooling or compression molds…

…the most common types robots for these operations include: Gantry robots: Gantry robots consist of a beam that spans the width of a production line. Gantry robots are often used in high-volume manufacturing settings, where they can quickly and accurately put items on production equipment. Articulated robots: Articulated robot arms have a series of joints that allow the robot to move in multiple directions. Articulated robots are often used in packaging applications, where they can place products into boxes or bags. SCARA robots: SCARA robots have a horizontal arm and a vertical arm. SCARA robots are often used in assembly…

…robotic solution features eight robots that operate on overhead gantries to combine buffer storage and order picking functions into one operation. The robots handle perishable goods in plastic crates in the refrigerated zones. Although fully integrated with the surrounding manual operations, the system is effectively an island of automation that prepares orders for retail stores, enabling them to be transported to the supermarkets without the need for any further processing. With product pallets going in and store pallets coming out, the island is self-sufficient, taking care of goods reception; put-away; location of stored items; retrieval planning; picking of crates; sorting…
