Hexapods

February 8, 2011

Their parallel kinematics design means they operate with higher dynamics and precision than independent axes constructed in series. The control not only allows repeatable precise motion to the target position, it also makes it possible to precisely specify the exact route. In medical engineering hexapods are mainly used for handling systems or for surgery and endoscopy. In therapeutics, they allow the patient to be placed in exactly the right position, for treatment of a tumor, for example.

• Parallel kinematics with six degrees of freedom
• Different versions and dimensions for different fields of application
• For loads up to 200kg
• Flexible ranges from a few micrometers up to several 100mm
• High positional stability and precision down to one nanometer
• Piezo drives mean no friction, no maintenance, no wear
• Piezo drives consume no energy when at rest in order to maintain a stable position
