Gantry Robot in Logistics Industry
01
Advantages of gantry robots in the logistics industry
High load capacity: The gantry robot has a stable structure and can carry heavier goods, which is suitable for the handling of large items.
Large working range: Long travel, large working range, and can cover a larger working area.
High-precision positioning: Through the precise control system, high-precision positioning can be achieved to ensure the accuracy of cargo placement.
Flexibility: The working parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to different cargo sizes and weights.
High degree of automation: Unmanned operation can be achieved to improve production efficiency.

Types and characteristics of gantry robots
According to the driving mode and structural characteristics, gantry robots can be divided into the following types:
Ground gantry robots: The walking mechanism is on the ground, suitable for occasions with flat ground.
Elevated gantry robots: The walking mechanism is on an elevated track, suitable for stereoscopic warehouses.
Suspended gantry robots: The walking mechanism is suspended on the top of the factory building, suitable for occasions with high space utilization requirements.
Cooperation between gantry robots and other logistics equipment
AGV trolleys: Gantry robots can cooperate with AGV trolleys to realize the transfer of goods between different areas.
Stacker: Gantry robots can cooperate with stackers to achieve high-density storage.
Conveyor line: The gantry robot can cooperate with the conveyor line to realize an automated production line.
