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 ...

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. Compact but rigid, the new hexapod is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

In this video, PI showcases six-axes hexapod robots for applications in research and industry like motion simulation or automated positioning tasks. The hexapod product line has various models with ...

This video shows how PI hexapods align fibers with submicrometer accuracy to reach the so-called “first light”. PI provides a variety of innovative fiber alignment systems. Fiber alignment is an ...

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 ...

Technology advancements ranging from the design and manufacturing of next-generation consumer electronics to more efficient and reliable manufacturing processes, to improved metrology sensors, ...
