Cartesian Gantry uses brushless linear servomotors.
Used in pick-and-place, automated assembly, and vision inspection applications, AGS1000 series is driven to speeds of 2 m/s and accelerations of 2 g by BLMC series servomotors. Feedback is provided from non-contact optical linear encoder, and resolution options range from 10 nm to 1.0 -µm. Design accounts for thermal expansion and results in no backlash or wear. Along with customizable Z and q,...
