Typical Applications of Gantry / Cartesian Robots

Cartesian robots are much more rigid in their motion with no rotary motion, except with a possible rotary actuator on the end effector. This may seem like a limitation, and it can be. But it also is an advantage in applications designed in a planar fashion, like placing, sorting or stacking product on a platform or conveyor. This planar quality of linear robots carries advantages that allow them to perform better than other robot types for certain applications. Here are a few examples:

If the benefits of an articulated (6 axis) arm are also required for an application, such as to rotate the product or pick or place at an angle, then an articulated arm can be added as an inverted end effector to the vertical or “Z” axis of a gantry, so long as the payload rating of the arm is sufficient.
