Gantry Mill (Bridge / Gantry Mill)

What is Gantry Mill?

A gantry (bridge) mill carries the spindle on a crossbeam supported by two columns that move over a large fixed table — a rigid layout for very large parts like molds, dies, aerospace structures and machine bases. Moving-gantry and fixed-bridge variants exist.

Gantries deliver big travels and rigidity that a knee or C-frame mill can't.
