Gantry Robot Prototype Design

At April 2011, a prototype gantry robot is designed to study on design of freedom.
the following is the design of the gantry robot with 6 movement.

This is the original pose of the design.

 First movement

First movement of the gantry robot is moving to the left or right at horizontal direction by using servo motor.

1.      Second movement

The arm can be moving down by rotating it down by using rotary cylinder.

Third  movement (optional)
If the length is still not long enough, we can extend the arm by rotating another arm which link to the first arm, this movement is rotate by rotary cylinder

Forth  movement

Next movement is moving upward or downward by using pneumatic cylinder.

 Fifth movement

Then the gantry robot can be moved to front to touch the object by pneumatic system.

Sixth movement (optional)

For the best coverage of place, the arm of the gantry robot is also available for horizontal rotating so it can touch wider range even the handle is slide to the side at maximum, this movement is rotate by rotary cylinder
