Gantry Control Simulator

Gantry Control Simulator is a real-time 3-axis (XYZ) gantry simulation designed to demonstrate basic industrial motion control concepts.

This project focuses on simulating linear axis movement, control logic, and collision constraints commonly found in CNC machines, pick-and-place systems, and automated gantry equipment.

The simulator allows users to control gantry motion using keyboard input and observe how the system reacts to limits, collisions, and directional constraints in a virtual environment.

Features

• XYZ gantry movement simulation

• Keyboard-based control system

• Axis limit and collision detection

• Industrial-style motion behavior

• Simple and clean simulation environment

Purpose

This project is intended for:

• Learning and demonstrating gantry motion control

• Automation and mechatronics practice

• Digital twin and system simulation experiments

• Technical portfolio showcase

Controls

• A / D — Move along the X-axis (left / right)
• W / S — Move along the Y-axis (up / down)
• Q / E — Move along the Z-axis (forward / backward)
• P — Pick object (press again to release)
• Spacebar — Emergency stop / Pause movement

Notes

This is a simulation, not a full game.
The project focuses on system behavior rather than gameplay mechanics.
