Güdel, Inc. Cartesian (Gantry) Robots 1-Axis Type EP

Modular 1-axis gantry with large handling range The single-axis module type EP by virtue of it’s high modularity and its wide range of payloads lends itself to applications in diverse industries. The assigned roller and guideway system ensures very quiet running and low sensitivity to environmental cleanliness. The rack and pinion drive system permits excellent dynamic motion with high accuracy. Due to its modular and compact structure, the single-axis module type EP is particularly suited for use as an auxiliary axis in complete systems. Frequently they are used as a fast and accurate positioning axis. Our gantry concept enables the legs to be flexibly positioned on the gantry beam This is a huge advantage during the planning phase as the precise dimensions of the processes or machines to be automated are often only known at a relatively late stage. This flexibility also allows the system to be modified at a resonable cost if adjustments to the production processes are desired at a later date. The beams are available in standard lengths. They are equipped on both sides with exact joining elements, making almost any desired total length possible. Our flexible system even makes retrofitting your production line for new processes economical.
