Multi-dimensional gantries
22 April 2015
Combining numerous linear axes to allow multi-axes movement, the drylin E range of gantries from igus provides flexible multi-dimensional solutions for a variety of applications, such as automation, measurement and positioning systems.

Thanks to the self-lubricating nature of the drylin components, the gantries are maintenance- and corrosion-free, which makes them a clean and low-cost solution especially in the medical, food and packaging industries.
There are three basic options: line gantry with a working space of 500 x 100mm; flat gantry operating within 300 x 300mm envelope; and a room gantry reaching each point within 500 x 500 x 100mm.
