AI Technical Summary
Existing gantry robots experience significant friction between the guide rails and sliders, generating considerable noise and impacting the operator's working environment.
The ball bearings are rolled in the rolling groove between the slider and the slide rail to reduce the contact area between the slider and the slide rail. Combined with the gear and rack meshing, the movement of the X, Y and Z axes is driven.
It effectively reduces frictional noise between the slider and the guide rail, improving the working environment for operators.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gantry robot technology, and specifically relates to a three-axis gantry robot. Background Technology
[0002] A gantry robot is a fully automated industrial device based on a Cartesian X, Y, and Z coordinate system. It performs functions such as workpiece positioning and trajectory movement. Its control core is implemented through an industrial controller (such as a PLC, motion controller, or microcontroller). The controller analyzes and processes various input signals (from sensors, buttons, etc.), makes logical judgments, and then issues execution commands to various output components (relays, motor drivers, indicator lights, etc.) to complete the coordinated movement between the X, Y, and Z axes, thereby achieving a fully automated operation process.
[0003] Existing gantry robots are guided and slid by slide rails and sliders. The slide rails and sliders are in close contact, resulting in high friction and noise, which makes the working environment of the operator poor and has a significant impact on the operator's work. Therefore, it is of great significance to design a three-axis gantry robot. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In the aforementioned three-axis truss manipulator, a motor is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate, a gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor, and a rack is fixedly mounted on the X-axis component, with the gear meshing with the rack.

[0008] In the aforementioned three-axis gantry machine, a motor is fixedly installed inside the fixed housing, a gear is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor, and a rack is fixedly installed on the Z-axis component, with the gear meshing with the rack.
[0009] In the aforementioned three-axis truss manipulator, a connector is fixedly mounted at one end of the Z-axis component, a rotary cylinder is fixedly mounted on the connector, and a gripper is fixedly mounted on the rotary cylinder.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this three-axis gantry manipulator has the advantage of reducing the contact area between the slider and the slide rail, thereby reducing the friction area between the slider and the slide rail, and thus reducing the sliding noise between the slider and the slide rail.
