PI - the world leader in Hexapod (Stewart platform) 6-axis stage motion system design - has been manufacturing 6-Axis parallel-kinematcs precision positioning systems for industry and research for several decades. An array of new standard and custom hexapod platforms is now available for a large variety of precision motion and alignment applications. All provide six degrees of freedom, have no moving cables (which improves reliability and precision), and provide a user programmable, virtual pivot point (center of rotation).
These new hexapod motion platforms can be used in a vast variety of applications, and are able to withstand extreme conditions, such as:
- High Loads
- Moisture/Water
- High Altitudes
- Exposure to the Outdoors
- Applications Requiring Vacuum Compatibility.
Applications
- Medical(ex: surgery robotics), dental testing
- Optical Inspection / Manufacturing
- Astronomical Telescopes
- Semiconductor Technology
- Photonics Alignment
- Micromachining
- Micromanipulation
- Satellite Testing Equipment
- Tool Control
