Robot transfer units (RTU's) and gantry systems for dynamic, demanding applications. 

Rollon RTU's and gantries are flexible, customizable systems to meet your requirements. 

Extend your robot's reach and work area without increasing its size. Our RTU's can be used with virtually any 5- or 6-axis robot.

Need long travel and high rigidity without a robot? Our gantry systems are ideal for 2- or 3-axis linear motion, in a range of sizes and configurations.

Standard Robot Transfer Units

  • Rack and pinion driven systems for long life (100,000 km), high rigidity, and unlimited travel lengths. 

  • Multiple sizes to accomodate virtually any robot - from small robots with payloads of a few kg, up to the largest, most powerful robots carrying multi-ton payloads. 

  • Available with multiple carriages for moving several robots with synchronized or independent motions. 

  • Machined sections make it easy to extend travel range after installation. 

 

 

 

Fully Covered Robot Transfer Units

  • Designed for harsh environments without sacrificing performance or configuration options. 

  • Fully covered base protects against fine dust (glass, ceramic) and large particles (wood chips, weld slag).

  • Additional options for special environments, such as washdown, explosion-proof or cleanroom.

Elevated Robot Transfer Units

  • Customizable Leg Heights to position the robot above the workspace or in-line with an elevated area. 

  • Steel base and reinforced legs provide high rigidity and accurate positioning along the entire length.   

  • Legs with integrated leveling features keep assembly and installation simple. 

  • Wide footprint accommodates high moment loads when robot arm is extended, and payload is cantilevered.

 

Portal Gantries

  • Two-axis Cartesian system for extended horizontal and vertical reach with heavy payloads. 

  • Mount multiple vertical axes - with synchronized or independent motions - on a single horizontal beam.  

  • Customizable dimensions in both length and height to keep foot print to a minimum. 

  • Legs with integrated leveling features keep assembly and installation simple.

Area Gantries

  • Three-axis Cartesian systems for long reach in the horizontal (X and Y) and vertical (Z) directions. 

  • Dual X-axis design provides high rigidity and low deflection. 

  • Available with multiple Y axes - ideal for working on two sides of a part or area - and each Y axis can carry multiple Z axes.
