Opening The Hood; Xy Gantry Assembly - Stratasys FDM Titan User Manual

Machine Components

Opening the Hood

You can open the hood, located on the top of the machine, to access the XY Gantry, Z
stage, and the Head. The hood has a mechanical switch and a continuous solenoid.
The hood is closed and locked (with the solenoid) while building (and during manual
gantry moves) and unlocked while paused or idle. This eliminates the need for an
Open Hood command.
Once the hood is opened the machine cannot be resumed nor can any manual move
command be sent until the hood is closed. To inform you of this, the screen will flash
Door not closed. Once the hood is closed, the screen will return to its previous state
and you will need to re-enter your last command.

XY Gantry Assembly

The Gantry maneuvers the head in the X and Y directions when building a part. The
XY Gantry assembly is located under the top hood of the machine. 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 bellows.
To move the head, the XY gantry utilizes one X and one Y servo motor attached to
timing belts, as shown in the following figure.
