Gantry - Stratasys F123 Series Manual

Gantry

Gantry
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.
