Smarter Gantry Control

Improve Throughput and Accuracy with Advanced MIMO Control Algorithm

Gantry stages are used in many high-performance motion control applications. Enabled by unique multi-axis Servo Processor technology, ACS has developed advanced MIMO (multi-input multi-output) gantry control algorithms that enhance accuracy, throughput, and stability of gantry stages.

Benefits

  • Higher servo bandwidth – better throughput, stability, and repeatability
     
  • Increased life of mechanics
     
  • Simpler tuning and optimization
     
  • Control stiff or flexible gantries
     
  • Control belt, ballscrew, and linear motor gantries
     

Applications

Semiconductor inspection and metrology
Laser processing
Electronics pick and place
Additive manufacturing

Gantries / Cartesian Robots

A gantry precision positioning stage is sometimes called a linear robot or Cartesian robot. Gantries typically provide motion in 2 or 3 linear degrees of freedom (X-Y and X-Y-Z) and are often used for pick and place applications, 3D printing or laser machining, and welding applications.
