GANTRY COMPONENTS
To access the gantry or the heads, you must first open the top cover. The top cover utilizes a mechanical locking
mechanism. The top cover remains locked while the printer is building and automatically unlocks when the oven
door is opened. The printer cannot resume building if the top cover and/or oven door are open.
The gantry moves the head in the X and Y directions when building a part. The gantry assembly is located under
the top cover. The entire gantry is outside of the oven; only the bottom of the head protrudes into the oven. The
gantry and its drive motors are thermally shielded from the oven via flexible heat shields. To move the head, the
gantry utilizes one X and two Y servo motors attached to timing belts.
