Güdel EP 1-Axis Gantry Review Summary
The EP is the simplest member of the range: one beam, one carriage. It carries more than the same size of multi-axis gantry because there is no vertical axis to support: 1,300 N on the EP-3, 3,100 N on the EP-4 and 8,000 N on the EP-5 in high-load tuning. In high-dynamic tuning the EP-4 reaches 200 m/min. Repeatability is ±0.02 mm.
Pros
Up to 8,000 N
Up to 200 m/min
±0.02 mm repeatability
Simple and modular
Cons
One axis only
Stroke not clearly stated
Motors and control not included
Who It Is For
It fits machine builders who need one long, precise, heavily loaded axis.
