Cartesian Robot

A robot with three linear (prismatic) axes arranged orthogonally, creating a rectangular workspace. Also called gantry robots. They offer high rigidity, precision, and payload capacity along linear paths. Common in CNC machining, 3D printing, pick-and-place, and packaging. Their workspace is a rectangular prism defined by the travel range of each axis.
