Home >> Gantry Systems Selection Guide

Aerotech gantry systems use our own brushless linear servomotors to meet the needs of a variety of gantry customers, from electronic assembly and electronic manufacturing to vision systems and industrial automation. These industrial robots are available in models from low-cost modular linear actuators assembled in a gantry configuration with matching motion control and drives, to sophisticated gantry models with the largest travel, highest speed, and highest acceleration available. Aerotech has over 30 years of experience in brushless linear motor design, motion controllers, and drives that permit us to offer a complete gantry solution that perfectly fits your gantry application. View or download the pdf of our brochure Cartesian Robots to see some of these state-of-the-art systems.

When you choose your Aerotech gantry, consider including Aerotech's ETM (Enhanced Throughput Module) as part of your system. The ETM helps improve the positioning performance of high-dynamic motion systems by directly measuring the unwanted motion of the machine base and communicating it back to the controller. By working in concert with the Dynamic Controls Toolbox and Aerotech controllers, the ETM significantly improves move-and-settle time and contouring performance, increases throughput of existing and new machines, and greatly reduces the effects of frame motion on the servo system.
