drylin room gantry for 3D movements
igus’ latest video looks at the specifications of its new drylin room gantry. Used to implement three-dimensional applications, the room gantry is based on a flat gantry system with a vertical axis. With the limit switch assembly housed within a T-slot, the complete length of the gantry’s profile can be used, enhancing its capabilities. Thanks to the self-lubricating nature of the drylin components, the room gantry requires no mainten...
