Hexapod multi-axis motion and positioning platforms have been around for several decades. Initially used for exotic applications, these six-legged parallel-kinematic machines are now becoming popular ...
This video shows the operation of PI’s Hexapod systems. These systems are designed around six high-resolution actuators, which act on a common platform. Their parallel kinematics design means they ...
Engineered for continuous operation, the H-815 combines sub-micron positioning accuracy with a compact, high-stiffness architecture—ideal for precision alignment in space-constrained and demanding ...
A hexapod, also known as a Stewart or Gough-Stewart platform, is a six-legged parallel mechanism. In its most common form, it consists of two platforms — one fixed and the other movable — connected by ...
PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. -- a leading manufacturer of precision sensors and motion-control equipment for optics / photonics, nano / biotechnology, semiconductor and life science applications -- ...
Newport Corporation introduces the advanced HXP50 hexapod, a parallel kinematic motion device that provides 6-axis axis of motion: X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw. Newport Corporation introduces the ...
Hexapods have 12 joints or flexures at both ends of the 6 moving linear links each with on-axis and off-axis motion errors. These 6 links once integrated into the ...
The repeatability in the 3 linear axes is ±1 µm, and ±5 µrad/9 µrad in the rotary axes. The maximum tilt and rotation angle is ±30°. An absolute encoder option is also available. The encoder detects ...
(Nanowerk News) Vacuum chambers are limited in volume and products that go inside are better when they are smaller. PI offers 6-axis precision motion systems, based on parallel kinematics. These ...
Hexapod motion systems are the most versatile multi-axis positioning systems, also called Stewart Platforms, for industrial, research, and medical applications. A traditional hexapod parallel ...
(Nanowerk News) PI has added to its family of compact hexapod 6-axis stages based on the Stewart Platform principle. The H-840.G2IHP micropositioning robot is equipped with brushless precision motors ...
Newport Corporation introduces the HXP1000 Hexapod, a high load, 6-axis-parallel kinematic positioning system that can accommodate a centered load of 450 kg or a load of 200 kg in any orientation. The ...
