ETFA Gantries
Introduction
Specialised in the integration of automated handling systems, Fives has developed a line of standard product initially designed to meet the performance and reliability requirements of the automotive sector.
With over 10,000 installations worlwide, Fives' ETFA gantries are reputed for their excellent components.
They are available as bare mechanics or can be fully integrated by us.
These standard products ensure quick delivery times.
Advantages
All the Fives' ETFA gantries are made from extruded aluminium beams that hold guiding rails in precision ground steel.
This soultion makes them highly scalable (addition of carriages or leg supports, lenghtening of beams, moving of leg supports, etc.).
The three guiding rails on which simple bearings are rolled ensure that there are no hyperstatic constraints.
The gear reducers are compatible with equipement from the major motor manufacturers (Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Bosch, Schneider, Fanuc, etc.).
Maintenance on the gantries is very easy and fast.
