5.7 Gantry Mounting Kits
When ordering linear modules, an LG6 gantry support module is configured by default
on systems with Y-axis modules over a certain length. For example, a gantry is
automatically included on two-axis, G-style systems with a an L12 or L18 Y-axis module
(module 2) 800 mm or longer.
NOTE: Systems with carriage-mounted Y-axis modules, such as X-Style,
cannot be configured with a gantry.
The following figure shows a gantry module with 3 support feet and Y-axis interconnect
hardware.

The gantry is automatically configured to have the same stroke length as module 1. A
similar quantity of gantry support module mounting feet/toe clamps are included if
mounting feet/toe clamps are configured on module 1. If no mounting feet/toe clamps
are configured on module 1, no mounting feet/toe clamps are configured on the gantry.
