Existing assembly conditions can only meet partial assembly needs, failing to achieve a complete installation and testing process, especially for multi-functional testing with attachment heads. After the carriage assembly is assembled, precision adjustments and functional debugging are required. These tasks necessitate halting the overall assembly of the gantry machine tool. Precision adjustments to the carriage assembly require rework through machining, leading to repeated disassembly and reassembly risks and waste, resulting in high assembly costs, time delays, and compromised product quality. Therefore, a large-scale gantry carriage assembly multi-functional testing platform is proposed. Summary of the Invention
