A special closed gantry was needed to load 60' pipe weighing up to 650 lbs into process machines (not shown).
Pipes are conveyed into the robot enevelope from the right, are picked, loaded into process equipment and delivered to a downstream conveyor.

The 60' clean pass thru required a trussed support structure combined with a unique 3-axis, dual Z-beam configuration, with a pipe clamp end effector.
