Precision at Scale: Gantry Systems That Define Success in Flat Panel Display Manufacturing

In Flat Panel Display (FPD) manufacturing, the demand for larger, thinner, and more advanced glass substrates is driving innovation across the supply chain. At the heart of this innovation lies the motion control system, and increasingly, the gantry systems that provide the foundation for precision at scale.

At ALIO Industries, we know that when glass substrates grow in size and production tolerances tighten, the stakes rise exponentially. Any vibration, instability, or mechanical misalignment can result in defects that compromise the entire display.

This is why ALIO delivers Precision Built for You, offering large-scale gantry systems engineered to handle the unique challenges of FPD manufacturing with uncompromising performance.

Why Gantry Systems Are Critical in FPD Manufacturing

Moving large glass panels with sub-micron repeatability requires more than standard motion solutions. Advanced gantry systems provide:

Extreme rigidity and flatness to support oversized substrates without sagging or deformation.
Optimized Center of Mass Designs, reducing unwanted vibration from the move profile.
Dynamic stability to accommodate high-speed movement without sacrificing precision.
Seamless integration of sophisticated drives and controls for synchronized, error-free operation.

As panel sizes grow and pixel densities increase, even the smallest mechanical or control errors can lead to costly yield losses. ALIO’s gantry systems are designed to prevent these failures by combining mechanical engineering excellence with intelligent motion control.

Vertically Integrated Gantry Solutions

Unlike many suppliers, ALIO is vertically integrated. We design, machine, assemble, and verify critical stage components, integrate them with sourced frames and granite bases, and lastly tune and commission the motion axis with advanced 3^rd party drives, all under one roof.

This approach ensures:

• Perfect alignment between all mechanical and electronic systems.
• Reduced complexity for faster installation and commissioning.
• End-to-end performance verification of the complete gantry system.

Our gantry systems incorporate innovations such as:

• Direct-drive air bearing stages for frictionless, jitter-free movement.
• Virtual Yaw Axis for added controllability and reliable performance over temperature
• 3^rd Party Advanced drive and control solutions (ServoBoost, SmoothPath, NanoPWM, PEG) for ultra-smooth trajectories and sub-micron repeatability.

By delivering a complete, validated gantry system, ALIO ensures FPD manufacturers can focus on production, not troubleshooting motion errors.

When you choose ALIO, you’re partnering with a motion control pioneer trusted by industries where failure is not an option. From semiconductor to photonics, and now to large-format FPD manufacturing, our expertise in building large-scale gantry systems allows us to deliver tailored solutions for your exact requirements.

As glass panels grow larger and more intricate, ALIO’s vertically integrated systems deliver the rigidity, precision, and intelligence required to keep you ahead of the competition.

When precision drives progress, trust the partner delivering it at scale.
