Cantilever Gantry CNC Machine Tool Loading and Unloading

In CNC machine tool workshops, cantilever gantry systems are primarily used for automated workpiece loading, unloading, handling, and positioning.

Supported by a cantilever structure on columns, they provide a wider working area for the robotic arm, allowing for flexible movement over a larger range. Upon receiving instructions from the CNC machine tool, the cantilever gantry precisely transports the workpiece from the storage area to the machining area according to a preset program, through the coordinated movement of its axes. After machining, the workpiece is returned or moved to the next process step.

Throughout the process, the cantilever gantry ensures stable workpiece transfer and precise positioning, improving production efficiency and machining accuracy.

Advantages of cantilever gantry systems

• High Flexibility: The design of the cantilever gantry allows for movement and operation in multiple directions, adapting to different work requirements and improving the flexibility of the production line.
• Large Working Area: Supported by a cantilever structure on columns, the cantilever gantry can cover a wider working area, meeting the needs of large workpieces or complex production lines.
• High load-bearing capacity: The rigidity and stability of the cantilever structure and columns ensure the stability and precision of the robotic arm during movement, while also enabling it to carry large loads.
• High degree of automation: When integrated with CNC machine tools, cantilever trusses can achieve fully automated production processes, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and product quality.
• Easy integration and maintenance: The structural design of cantilever trusses makes them easy to integrate with other automated equipment, and their maintenance is relatively simple, reducing maintenance costs and time.

In summary, cantilever trusses in CNC machine tool workshops, with their advantages of high flexibility, large working area, high load-bearing capacity, high degree of automation, and ease of integration and maintenance, have been widely used in modern manufacturing.
