UtiliTrak: Linear Guide Gantry Design

In this video, a size one UtiliTrak linear guide gantry design is being used to reduce operator efforts by providing ergonomic movement of a tapping tool. The tapping gun must be counter balanced for ease of use, and must stay perpendicular to operating surface. The size one gantry is handling a 20lb load over a 3 ft x 4 ft area, and the dual track mounted vertically provides added rigidity, eliminating supports and roll moments — very smooth, easy to move and cost effective.
