Flexible and scalable
Scalable workspace for any machine size. High flexibility in terms of workspace, payload, speed, dynamics, and precision.
Maximum use of space
Compact design with up to 96% utilization of the workspace. Consistent payload and dynamics throughout the entire working range.
Easy integration
The support structures are located at the outer edges of the work area. This ensures that the entire work area remains available for use.
Additional degrees of freedom
Optional rotation and swivel axes enable sophisticated handling and pick and place applications.
They are used in particular for machine loading, pick and place applications, material handling, and in the order picking process, and stand out for their reliability and efficiency.
We use preconfigured but modular sets for our gantry robot solutions. That means we can customize the controllers, axes, and mechanics as required to suit your particular needs. It makes automation easy – without neglecting the application’s specific requirements. Do you want everything from a single source? You can easily enhance and complete your automation solution by adding further functions such as conveyor belts and adjusting the format using components from the MOVI‑C® modular automation system.
