Gantry Systems

Parker Gantry System #1 - Two Axis XX'-Y

SYSTEM ONE provides two axes of horizontal motion. The primary axis (X) is comprised of two HLE Linear Modules linked by a common drive shaft, and the secondary axis (Y) comprised of one HLE Linear Module. The HLE linear modules are capable of high speeds and accelerations over long travels.

• X-Y Maximum work area to: 7.9m x 3.0
• Maximum load: 100 kg
• Maximum Velocity: X-Axis: 2.0m/sec, Y-Axis: 3.0m/sec

Parker Gantry System #2 - Two Axis XX'-YY'

SYSTEM 2 utilizes two linear modules in both axes (X & Y). The second linear module of the Y-axis is an idler unit which increases load capacity (normal and moment) and permits longer travel. The addition of this unit doubles the load capacity over System One. Traction force can be improved by linking the second axis (Y) module to the first with a common drive shaft. The link shaft doubles the potential acceleration of the system. This system is intended for moderate to heavy loads.

• X-Y Maximum work area to: 7.9m x 3.0m
• Maximum load: 200 kg
• Maximum Velocity: X-Axis: 2.0m/sec, Y-Axis: 3.0m/sec

Parker Gantry System #3 - Two Axis XX'-Z

SYSTEM 3 provides two axes of motion in a vertical plane. A ballscrew driven ET Cylinder is utilized to provide high thrust in the vertical direction. ET Rod Guides, in conjunction with the dual X-axis, minimize the effects of moment and side loading, permitting higher acceleration of the payload

• X-Z Maximum work area to: 7.9m x 1.0m
• Maximum load: 100 kg
• Maximum Velocity: X-Axis: 2.5m/sec, Z-Axis: 1.0m/sec

Parker Gantry System #4 - Two Axis XX'-Z

SYSTEM 4 is a variation of System 3 that offers an alternative mounting arrangement. It is a popular choice for front loading applications and is often implemented as a wall mount unit.

• X-Z Maximum work area to: 7.9m x 1.0m
• Maximum load: 100 kg
• Maximum Velocity: X-Axis: 2.5m/sec, Z-Axis: 1.0m/sec

Parker Gantry System #5 - Two Axis XX'-Z

SYSTEM 5 is an X-Z system utilizing the HZR belt driven unit for the vertical axis. The rigidity of the HZR permits higher vertical speed, greater X-axis acceleration, and larger moment loading than System 3

• X-Z Maximum work area to: 7.9m x 1.5m
• Maximum load: 100 kg
• Maximum Velocity: X-Axis: 2.5m/sec, Z-Axis: 1.5m/sec

Parker Gantry System #6 - Three Axis XX'-YY'-Z

SYSTEM 6 is a three axis version of System Two. HLE Linear Modules provide motion in the X and Y directions while a vertically mounted ET cylinder provides the third axis (Z) of motion. The ET cylinder provides high vertical thrust capacity at moderate speeds. With the Z-axis retracted, this system can transport moderate to heavy loads at high rates of speed over long travel distances.

• X-Y-Z Maximum work area to: 7.9m x 3.0m x 1.0m
• Maximum load: 100 kg
• Maximum Velocity: X-Axis: 2.5m/sec, Y-Axis: 2.5m/sec, Z-Axis: 1.0m/sec

Parker Gantry System #7 - Three Axis XX'-YY'-Z

SYSTEM 7 is a three axis system which utilizes the HZR unit for the vertical axis.  As a result, this system can provide longer vertical travel, higher speed, and greater Acceleration than System 6.  If the Z-axis is retracted during horizontal motion, System Seven can easily handle moderate to heavy loads.  With the Z-axis fully extended it can handle light to moderate loads.

• X-Y-Z Maximum work area to: 7.9m x 3.3m x 1.5m
• Maximum load: 100 kg
• Maximum Velocity: X-Axis: 2.5m/sec, Y-Axis: 2.5m/sec, Z-Axis: 1.5m/sec
