In comparison to stacked stages, Hexapods offer an easy, elegant solution to complex, multi-axis motion in a compact construction. Its dedicated firmware simplifies the programming of complex motion through the use of two coordinate systems and automatically computes coordinate transformations for straightforward programming of motion. •Single device with 6 independent axes of motion •Light and compact design, with high stiffness •No moving cables •RightPath trajectory control •Two virtual centers of rotation set by software •HexaViz Simulation Software Features Parallel Kinematic Motion Hexapods are ingenious and effective solutions to complex motion applications that require high load capacity and accuracy in up to six independent axes. Parallel kinematic motion devices provide six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw) in a compact solution to multi-axis positioning. As an alternative to stacking multiple stages, hexapods have no moving cables, are lower in overall cost, and offers error compensated motion. High Precision Actuators The quality of actuators has a critical impact on the overall motion performance of a hexapod. Drawing on over 55 years of Newport's expertise in actuators, the top plate of HXP hexapods is driven by 6 industry-proven, high performance actuators with encoder feedback at the leadscrew nut to provide precise minimum incremental motion, low backlash and fast speed.
