Güdel ZP 2-Axis Gantry Review Summary
The ZP is the classic loading gantry: a carriage travels along one beam and a vertical axis lowers the gripper into the machine. Six sizes cover a wide span, from the ZP-2 at up to 500 N to the ZP-7 at up to 31,250 N. Each has three tunings; the ZP-4 and ZP-6, for example, reach 200 m/min horizontally in the high-dynamic one. Repeatability is ±0.02 mm on all sizes. Payload falls with vertical strokes beyond 1.0 to 1.6 m.
Pros
Six sizes
Up to 31,250 N
±0.02 mm repeatability
Up to 200 m/min
Extendable
Cons
Payload falls with long Z strokes
Motors and control not included
A possible misprint in the maker's ZP-3 table
Who It Is For
It fits plants that load machines in a row, from small parts to very heavy ones.
