A Harder Hexapod Micro-Positioning System for twenty-four/7 Industrial Operation.
Picture Credit score: Physik Instrumente
The H-815 6-Axis Hexapod is a ruggedized, extremely correct, positioning and alignment system designed for steady 24/7 operation in demanding industrial movement functions. Engineered as a sturdy parallel kinematic machine for high-precision alignment duties, it supplies six levels of freedom (6-DOF) — X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw — delivering distinctive flexibility for functions requiring multi-axis movement with excessive accuracy.
With a low-profile design (solely 155 mm top), a small footprint for a 6-axis system (222 mm baseplate diameter), and a 22lbs load capability, the sturdy H-815 hexapod seamlessly integrates into manufacturing traces whereas sustaining strong efficiency, even when mounted in varied orientations. Unveiled at SPIE Photonics West 2025, the world’s main convention on photonics, it’s ideally suited for digicam lens alignment (automotive, cell telephones and many others.), micro-assembly, aerospace take a look at and meeting, Micro-LED manufacturing, fiber optic alignment, aerospace take a look at and meeting, and different precision-critical functions.
Expertise in Excessive-Precision Engineering is the Foundation for Superior Efficiency
Backed by 35 years of hexapod engineering experience and 5 a long time of nano-positioning and micro-positioning innovation, PI has geared up the H-815 with industry-leading joints, actuators, and encoders for unmatched movement management efficiency, reliability, and stability.
