A method for synchronous control of a gantry mechanism with online inertia matching is applicable to a machine tool equipped with a gantry mechanism. The gantry mechanism includes two rails, a crossbeam and a saddle, in which the saddle is disposed on the crossbeam, and the crossbeam is disposed by crossing the two rails. Each of the two rails is furnished with a driving apparatus for synchronously driving the crossbeam, and the driving apparatus includes a drive motor and a lead screw. This method includes the steps of: obtaining gantry-mechanism information; detecting position information of the saddle on the crossbeam; evaluating the position information and the gantry-mechanism information to derive load-inertia variety information; and, evaluating the load-inertia variety information to adjust torque-output information of the drive motor corresponding to the respective driving apparatus.

An air balance mechanism includes a plate part, fixed shafts, and movable cylinders. A flange is provided at one end of each of the fixed shafts. The movable cylinders are movable relative to the fixed shafts. A space is formed below a lower surface of the flange. Further, the air balance mechanism includes fixing bolts and adjusting bolts. The fixing bolts fix the flange and a plate part at positions different from the space. The adjusting bolts are inserted into the plate part through the space for allowing the postures of the fixed shafts to be adjustable.

A flexible mechanism and a gantry device having the same are provided. The flexible mechanism serves to compensate the positional space error caused by synchronous error, deformation or the like factor of the gantry beam. The flexible members serve to enhance the rigidity in the direction of the motional axis, in which the external force is applied to the beam. This can avoid hysteresis phenomenon of the beam during operation.

A feeding module includes a slider and a guider. The slider includes two sliding portions, a first connecting portion and four sliding blocks with hydrostatic bearing. Each sliding portion has a first through hole. The first connecting portion is connected to the sliding portions. Two of the sliding blocks are disposed in the first through hole in one of the sliding portions, another two of the sliding blocks are disposed in the first through hole in another one of the sliding portions. Each sliding blocks has a second through hole. The guider includes two cylindrical portions corresponding to the two sliding portions. One of the cylindrical portions penetrates through the second through holes in two of the sliding blocks. Another one of the cylindrical portions penetrates through the second through holes in another two of the sliding blocks.
