The gantry columns are made from aluminum extrusions. They can be scaled to be taller or shorter to satisfy your needs. The two large spaces inside the columns are used to conceal and protect the GT2 timing belts that run along the tracks and up to the gantry pulleys.
This aluminum extrusion serves as the gantry’s primary structural element. The cross-slide’s v-wheels move across this extrusion, allowing FarmBot to move in the y-direction. It is possible to make this extrusion longer or shorter to suit your needs.
This aluminum extrusion allows FarmBot to accurately position the UTM and tools in the z-direction. It slides through the vertically aligned wheels on the front of the cross-slide.
