Hexapods & Positioning Systems

Hexapod System Components

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 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

Our 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
