Linear positioning system HEX300-230HL series

6-axisXYZhexapod

Aerotech’s HexGen® hexapods represent the next-generation in six degree-of-freedom (DOF) positioning performance. The HEX300-230HL is the premier medium-load, ultra-precision hexapod for many applications ranging from sensor testing to synchrotron sample manipulation. •Precision design with guaranteed positioning accuracy specifications •Minimum incremental motion to 20 nm in XYZ and 0.2 µrad in θxθyθz •Flexible configurations and customization •Vacuum preparation available upon request •Powerful controls and software with visualization of work and tool coordinate systems Performance Unique to the Market Many trade-offs exist in the design and specification of a motion system. With its high speeds and sub-micrometer precision, the HEX300-230HL eliminates compromises on application specifications. Aerotech’s HexGen hexapods are the only hexapods on the market today that provide guaranteed positioning accuracy specifications below 5 µm. Superior Structural Design The HEX300-230HL is actuated with six high-accuracy struts built with precision preloaded bearings, ball screws, and drive components. Unlike competitive hexapods driven by DC brushed servomotors, the HEX300-230HL is driven by Aerotech’s AC brushless, slotless servomotors that maximize device lifetime and performance. Directly coupling the AC brushless servomotors to the ball screw enables increased drive stiffness, higher positioning accuracy, and better minimum incremental motion (20 nm in XYZ and 0.2 µrad for θxθyθz) when compared to competitive designs using belts, gearheads, or compliant couplings.
