Cartesian and Gantry Robots

Cartesian and gantry robots typically run upon specific axes for a dedicated process. They are usually relatively simple, cost-effective and fast in operation. Used in many processes including de-moulding (or injection moulding processes) and pick and place (Palletisation and Packing Cells).

Cartesians can be configured and built to the exact cell needs (each axis is a separate unit which can be chosen for length, speed and load) and are relatively simple to program through the controlling PLC. Furthermore, Cartesian systems can be very large and move high payloads over greater distances, which would be less practical for a standard articulated robot.
