A Linear Structure for Large Work Envelopes

Gantry palletizing uses an overhead Cartesian structure to move products along controlled linear axes. This configuration is suited to projects requiring an extensive working area and clearly defined pick-up and placement points.

The bridge structure covers large areas and serves multiple pick-up or placement points. Its linear motion simplifies maintenance access, safety design and integration with pallet conveyors.

Cartesian handling systems provide precise, easily controlled paths. Compared with systems using more articulated movements, a gantry operates with linear motion, making the cycle easier to understand and simplifying height control and sequence programming.

When a Gantry Palletizer Is the Best Fit

The choice depends on more than product weight. A gantry system is particularly useful when the process involves:

  • long distances between pick-up and placement areas;

  • multiple pallets or stations served by one handling unit;

  • regular, repetitive stacking patterns;

  • a need to keep the area below the gantry clear;

  • loads requiring robust grippers;

  • defined cycles with limited variation in motion paths;

  • a requirement to extend the working area in the future.

SAIEM develops robotic handling systems in which the structure, drives, gripper, conveyors and control logic are designed as parts of one solution.
