Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of processing equipment, in particular to a gantry dual-drive platform. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing automation in modern industry, the demand for high-precision, high-speed processing equipment is growing. As an important processing equipment, gantry dual-drive platforms are widely used in precision machining fields such as semiconductor manufacturing, laser cutting, and precision assembly.

Linear motors can directly convert electrical energy into linear motion without the need for an intermediate transmission link, significantly improving the system's response speed and positioning accuracy. However, existing linear motor-driven gantry platforms still face challenges, such as how to further improve system stability and reliability while maintaining high precision, and how to achieve a more compact and efficient layout within limited space. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the present invention adopts a compact structural layout. The side plates 2 on both sides of the base 1 not only provide support, but also integrate the stator part of the first linear motor. The design of the first connecting plate 6 and the second connecting plate 7 makes the entire system more stable and reduces errors caused by structural deformation. The design of the connecting seat 13 facilitates the installation of various processing tools or measuring devices, enhancing the functionality and applicability of the equipment.

Each second rail 11 is provided with a second slider 12, which is disposed at the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the connecting seat 13. Specifically, the provision of two second rails 11 and the configuration of a second slider 12 on each of the upper and lower sides of the second linear motor stator 10 improve the motion stability and parallelism of the crossbeam 9 in the Y-axis direction, thereby enhancing the overall rigidity of the system.

[0035] In the gantry dual-drive platform described in this embodiment, first end plates 25 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the side panels 2. First anti-collision blocks 26 are provided on the inner sides of the first end plates 25. The two first anti-collision blocks 26 are located at the front and rear ends of the first slide rail 4, respectively. Specifically, the first end plates 25 and the first anti-collision blocks 26 therein act as buffers when the first slide 5 reaches its extreme position, reducing the impact force caused by a collision, thereby extending the life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
