Kyrus gantry systems offer a cost-effective and flexible alternative to industrial robots, especially for moving heavy and awkwardly shaped products over large areas. Gantry systems excel in applications requiring high payloads and extensive work areas, providing significant advantages in various aspects:
Larger Working Area Gantry systems can lift and position higher loads over greater distances compared to industrial robots. For instance, a 3-metre square gantry can move a 400kg payload within its entire range, while industrial robots struggle with reduced payload capacity as the load extends further from the central axis.
Heavy Payloads With a range of actuation methods and modular structures available, a Kyrus gantry can handle up to 700kg payload with ease, proving ideal for complex applications such as palletisation, pick & place, chemical processing and 3D printing. Kyrus gantry system’s stability and versatility make it preferable for managing challenging shapes and sizes.
Scalability Kyrus Gantry systems can be easily extended to accommodate increased work areas or production demands, providing a cost-effective solution without needing significant overhauls.
Mechanical Package or Turnkey Kyrus Gantry systems are easy to integrate into existing assembly lines and can be purchased as either a mechanical package or a turnkey solution. When supplied as a mechanical package, Kyrus will help specify the required servo motors and supply precision gearboxes to suit the motor selection. Where required, the Kyrus in-house engineering team can design steel support structures.
