### Q: What materials are best for gantry frames in high-precision applications?
**A**: For ultra-high precision, granite bases offer exceptional stability and vibration damping. Aluminum alloy (like 6061-T6) provides a good strength-to-weight ratio for speed, while steel offers maximum rigidity for heavy-duty applications.

### Q: How does the gantry frame design affect pick-and-place machine performance?
**A**: A rigid gantry frame minimizes deflection and vibration, which is critical for accuracy at high speeds. Proper design with base plates, columns, cross-beams, and reinforcement ribs ensures precise movement of components.

### Q: What are the key components in a gantry frame BOM?
**A**: Essential components include the base plate/beam for foundation, vertical columns/pillars for support, cross-beam (bridge) for moving parts, reinforcement ribs/gussets for rigidity, and leveling feet/mounting pads for installation stability.
