[0002] Gantry robots are tools for transporting objects and are being used more and more widely.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream flexible automated logistics systems at home and abroad mainly consist of two methods: fully automated production systems composed of gantry robots transporting workpieces and automated production lines composed of robots for loading and unloading. Gantry robots transport parts at high altitudes, directly transporting the processed parts from one machine tool to another. Gantry robots also have auxiliary functions such as inter-process transportation, active loading and unloading, and material reversal. Due to their convenient, precise, and flexible transportation, relatively simple structure, and ease of combination and application, they are suitable for this purpose.

[0004] Surface grinding is a very important machining method, and CNC surface grinders are among the most widely used machine tools. They are widely used in various fields of industrial production, especially in industries such as mold making, tooling, automobiles, and bearing machinery manufacturing.

The Z-axis square steel moves along the Z-axis under the drive of the Z-axis transmission mechanism driven by the Z-axis servo motor.

[0011] 4. A Y-axis linear guide rail is slidably installed on the front end of the Z-axis square steel. The Y-axis linear guide rail is installed on the Y-axis square steel, and the gripper is installed at the lower end of the Y-axis square steel. The Y-axis square steel moves along the Y-axis under the drive of the Y-axis transmission mechanism driven by the Y-axis servo motor.

[0012] 5. The gripper performs X, Y, and Z axis linkage under the drive of each servo motor, thereby realizing automatic loading and unloading of workpieces on the worktable, as well as automatic positioning, flipping, and sequence transfer.
