New Hexapod from Aerotech Targets Medium-Load
Ultra-Precision Applications
N06-201
Aerotech’s HexGen™ hexapods represent a significant advance in six-degree-of-freedom positioning performance. The newest member of the HexGen™ family, the HEX300-230HL, is targeted at medium-load, ultra-precision applications ranging from sensor testing to synchrotron sample manipulation. Aerotech’s HexGen™ hexapods are the only hexapods on the market today that provide guaranteed positioning accuracy specifications below 5 μm. The HEX300-230HL’s superior structural design offers the user a generous load capacity of up to 45 kg. The platform and base can be easily modified with user-specific features or mounting patterns. It features a 100 mm diameter clear aperture in the platform, while a 60 mm diameter clear aperture in the base allows workpiece access from the bottom.
Driving the HEX300-230HL is Aerotech’s award-winning A3200 motion control software. Built on years of experience with difficult kinematics applications, the A3200 controller allows easy programming and control of the hexapod in any user-defined coordinate system.
Aerotech’s HexSim™ software gives users the ability to easily visualize and simulate the available workspace. Tight integration between HexSim™ and the A3200 motion controller provides real-time motion visualization in any user-defined coordinate system. An intuitive graphical interface permits selection of the active coordinate system for easy virtual pivot-point programming and motion.
