SIMPLE Gantry System

# 2-Axis Cantilever Gantry System


---

## Technical Overview

The system utilizes a stacked 2-axis Cartesian kinematic arrangement:
1. **Vertical Axis:** A fixed base supporting a vertical rail that drives the carriage up and down.
2. **Horizontal Axis:** Mounted directly to the vertical carriage, allowing a cantilevered arm to extend and retract.

Both axes are driven via **herringbone gear-and-rack channels** to ensure smooth power transmission, minimal backlash, and self-centering alignment of the gear teeth.
