Centrally mounted Z-axis carriage within the cross beam.    ### Gantry-Constructions   Conventional and modified Gantry Design  4-Fold internal linear guides.  Deviation (deflection) is reduced by a factor of 2.3, and thus rigidity is 2.3 times higher than "on top-mounted" systems.  Less positional error at the tool centre point (TCP). Significantly increased cutting tool life.   ![gs\_600-gantry-baz-allgemein](https://www.rainfordprecision.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gs_600-gantry-baz-allgemein.webp?width=500&height=510&name=gs_600-gantry-baz-allgemein.webp "gs_600-gantry-baz-allgemein") Picture: ALZMETALL-SPECIFIC GANTRY-CONCEPT (ASGK) of the GS 600 GS 600 - Impeller ## Company Portrait   ALZMETALL is a renowned company with global activities and is recognised internationally by its high-quality reputation and brand name.

We have only drilled 4 x 0.80mm holes 50d deep but the fact they worked the first time was appreciated by everyone. Senior Manufacturing Engineer Moto Sport > We use OSG mainly but when we have a specific job that needs doing, we come to Rainford Precision because they are and do the Crème De La Crème of Products and services. Works Manager Precision Engineering > The End Mill was an ideal choice due to the unusual shape and the need to have a small radius. They turned out great, and the surface finish is really good. External Works Manager Precision Engineering > I would like to say thank you for the help you have given our project over the last few years. Your advice on the correct cutters plus the right speeds and feeds has not only helped with accuracy but brought the cycle times down so we can meet our project deadlines. Mechanical Engineering Education Sector > Thank you for making that so incredibly easy and prompt. Manufacturing Engineer Precision Engineering > We received your delivery this morning as you had promised to do for us, thanks for that, it is great when a plan comes together. Production Engineer Precision Engineering > A diamond service from Rainford as usual. The success of our company is very much down to the external support received from Key organisations such as Rainford Precision. Your company is one of the first I will always turn to assist us.
