Abstract

The article discusses how economical misalignment-compensation techniques prevent bearing overload and premature gantry failure. Topics mentioned include the accepted notion that misalignment leads to problems, basic information about misalignment, and how a misalignment compensator works. It also reviews two misalignment-compensator designs including a compounded revolute joint for a 3D gantry configuration and an integrated revolute joint for a 2D gantry configuration.
