Track Extrusions

Track extrusions are the primary structural component of the tracks sub-assembly. They can be combined end-to-end in order to create longer tracks. The gantry v-wheels roll along the track extrusions, allowing FarmBot to move in the x-direction.

Gantry Main Beam

This aluminum extrusion serves as the gantry’s primary structural element. The cross-slide’s v-wheels move across this extrusion, allowing FarmBot to move in the y-direction. It is possible to make this extrusion longer or shorter to suit your needs.
