Cartesian robots, which are built around two or more coordinated linear positioning stages, may not be the first thing that comes to mind if you’re new to automation. Instead, there’s a natural tendency to equate robots with 6-axis, articulated-arm models. Yet in applications requiring the robot to tend multiple machines, reach long lengths or perform simple, repetitive operations, ignoring the benefits of a long-travel Cartesian system can be a costly mistake.
