If a gantry support module is specified, the standard option bit 1 defines the proper Y-axis
interconnect hardware required. These hardware kits vary slightly depending on whether
the Y-axis is an L18, L12, or an L08 module. The Y-axis gantry support block is sized
appropriately for each module, and the gantry spindle support tower is sized such that
the gantry module and the X-axis module always mount at the same elevation.
Each gantry interconnect hardware kit can be mounted to the Y-axis in one of two ways:
end-mounted or side-mounted. See
compact system footprint, but the gantry module or its mounting plates may interfere
with full Y-axis travel, depending on Z-axis and/or end-effector configuration. For that
reason, end mounting is the standard orientation.
