I will go on with the Fix gantry system because it is properly fit to my goal -the moving bridge is a big advantage and present for me- so I am not restricted with a fix bridge height.
However I do not want to cut this line and leave it this way.-probably I will make gantry with this principle too.
Some draft are attached with the gantry base solution.
I prefer to save the expensive, vulnerable parts
balls crew rail , belt drive so I tried to hide them next, behind or under the frame -I belive this is the best place for them against the impact of
-work piece uploading
-chips
-coolant
The other view is to apply the roof trusses principle where incredible small profile in a certain arrangement can form a very strong element.
In my dwg the three SQtube run along he perimeter tying to each other with reinforcement plates.
It is a pity I cannot check and compare the different version with software so only suppose it gives big torsion resistance to the frame
