PI Brochure Details Hexapod Positioners & Robots
Positioning controllers.
Auburn, MA — PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. has released a new brochure on Hexapod 6-Axis Parallel Kinematics Robots and Positioning Systems. The Hexapod system, (also known as Stewart Platform), which is supplied with a special motion controller, has unique features when compared to a stacked series of stages, including programmable pivot point for simple rotational alignment tasks.

The system also provides, lower inertia and higher stiffness, better dynamic behavior, smaller package size, no accumulation of position errors, reduced runout errors, no moving cables for better repeatability and reliability.

The brochure presents a variety of standard and custom hexapod systems, withy sub-micrometer resolution, and load capacities from 2 to 1000kg. The company has been designing and manufacturing hexapod positioning robots since the early 1990s. Today, standard hexapod designs come in all shapes and sizes and include servo motor-driven systems for moving large optics up to 1 m diameter to piezo based designs for nanometer precise control of semiconductor wafers and masks. Standard and custom systems are available in non-magnetic and vacuum compatible versions.

These parallel motion systems are designed for applications in fields such as optics and photonics, telecommunication; astronomy/aerospace; biotechnology; semiconductor test & handling; and microscopy.
