Hard gantry

Static/dynamic gantry operation

Additional monitoring mechanisms regarding the deviation of the axis positions and special strategies for compensating for these deviations apply to gantry axes. Static (also mechanical) gantry operation is defined by configuration because the axis is firmly coupled to one another due to the machine structure. Dynamic (also programmable) gantry operation can be defined in the NC program. The axis parameters listed in the following table must be assigned depending on the type of gantry operation:
