PentaPod Positioning System

Precise, compact, versatile, and affordable multi-axis positioning tool

The 3SAE PentaPod is a cutting-edge multi-axis positioning stage with 5/6 Degrees of Freedom. Its patented parallel kinematic design ensures exceptional precision, stiffness, and minimal crosstalk. Compact, cost-effective, and easy to integrate, it delivers sub-micron accuracy in motion control.

Multi-axis positioning stage

The PentaPod® is equipped with a range of advanced features designed to maximize precision and ease of use. Its patented 5-degree of freedom joints enable highly accurate, sub-micron precision motion across 5 or 6 axes, making it ideal for complex positioning tasks. The parallel kinematic design ensures exceptional positional stiffness, reducing crosstalk between motion axes, which is critical for maintaining accuracy in demanding applications. 

The system is designed for simple integration, requiring only a single USB connection with no need for an external controller. This plug-and-play capability reduces setup complexity and makes it easy to integrate into existing systems. Additionally, the PentaPod® offers a software-adjustable point of rotation, allowing users to fine-tune the motion to meet specific application needs. 

Despite its compact size and low profile, the PentaPod® does not compromise on stroke, precision, or performance. It provides a highly capable solution in a smaller footprint, suitable for applications where space is a constraint. Moreover, it is cost-effective, offering a fraction of the price and complexity of traditional Hexapod systems while maintaining comparable or superior performance.
