For a 5-axis gantry (likely 3 linear XYZ axes plus 2 rotational at the wrist), standard robotics textbooks are the best start. References: "Robot Modeling and Control" by Spong et al., and "Introduction to Robotics" by John J. Craig provide foundational DH methodology. For specific analyses, search IEEE Xplore or ScienceDirect for "gantry robot kinematics." The DH parameters are derived by assigning frames: typically, the first three joints (X, Y, Z) are prismatic with links lengths of 0, and the final two rotary joints follow standard wrist conventions. Your kinematic model will be a simple serial chain from the base gantry to the end-effector.
