The key elements of any hexapod are:

• Struts incorporating actuators and sensors
• Interface structures that attach the struts to payload and base structures
• Electronic conditioning and drive for the transducers
• Controller hardware and firmware
• A means of user control, typically through software
• Capability to receive additional information from the customer system
• Capability to store information about the hexapod response

CSA's hexapods include the following:

• Actuators and sensors that are appropriate for the application
• Strut and mechanical interface geometry compatible with customer space constraints
• Fast and proven controller hardware
• Standard libraries for hexapod control
• User interfaces tailored to provide appropriate control and data access
• Options for vacuum compatibility, automated operation and acceptance of remote analog or digital commands
