Parts are easily accessible to the coordinate measuring machine operator or programmer. Reaching over the CMM frame for loading or fixturing is no longer an issue. Extremely heavy parts do not affect the gantry machine's accuracy as the parts themselves do not come into contact with the machine structure. Precision surface plates are not required, although you may use one. Parts may be loaded on the floor within the gantry's work envelope. Many companies use carts to push components into the work envelope. Gantry machines may be loaded by lift truck or by overhead crane. The bridge moves completely clear of the loading area. All precision guideways and scales are completely clear of the working area. This means less maintenance and nothing to damage accidentally. Parts bigger than the machine's envelope may also be accommodated, due to the wide spacing of the pillars rela
