H-850 6-Axis Hexapod

The H-850 series hexapods position loads of up to 250 kg with high precision and reliability. Heavy-duty precision bearings allow applications with long duty cycles.

The parallel-kinematic design for six degrees of freedom makes it significantly more compact and stiffer than comparable serial kinematic systems. The advantages over serial, i.e., stacked systems, are mainly the much better path accuracy and repeatability. In addition, the moved mass is lower and allows improved dynamics which is the same for all motion axes. Cable management is not a problem because cables are not moved.

Use of brushless DC motors (BLDC)

Brushless DC motors are particularly suitable for high rotational speeds. They can be controlled very accurately and ensure high precision. Because they dispense with sliding contacts, they run smoothly, are wear-free and therefore achieve a long lifetime.

Absolute Encoder

Absolute encoders supply explicit position information that enables immediate determination of the position. Therefore, no referencing is necessary when switching on and this increases efficiency and safety during operation.

PIVirtualMove

The simulation software simulates the limits of the workspace and load capacity of a hexapod. Therefore, even before purchasing, you can check whether a particular hexapod model can handle the loads, forces, and torques occurring in an application. For this purpose, the simulation tool takes the position and motion of the hexapod as well as the pivot point and several reference coordinate systems into account.
