Top gantry and head

Hi,

Is the whole steel gantry and headstock one piece ? Does this section of the machine come as one assembled unit or do you have to assemble the entire section.?

The X/Z/Spindle Assembly will come fully assembled, but not attached the Gantry. The end user will first install the Gantry onto the Y Carriages, and then install the X/Z Carriage onto the Gantry.

The reason the X/Z Carriage does not come pre-installed onto Gantry is because the combined weight is about 130 pounds- a bit too much to handle without some kind of lifting device.
