PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. Hexapod H-850

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 6 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.
