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 ...

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 -- ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
