Cartesian mechanisms have long been the mainstay of pick-and-place operations. They are simple to design and easy to program. Using linear actuators to move in X, Y and Z enables engineers to map end-effector coordinates directly to actuator positions. The velocity and acceleration of each axis are easy to calculate, and single-feedback control loops can be used on each axis. However, Cartesian mechanisms are not without limitations
