Newport Hexapods are 6-axis parallel kinematic positioners engineered for exceptional stiffness and load capacity in compact designs with precision moves on the sub-micron scale. With 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF), Hexapods offer translations and rotations in 3D-space around user-defined virtual pivots without accumulation of motion errors. Hexapods are often implemented in applicationsthatrequire precise rotations and translations with minimum deflection underload as well as excellentstability With complex coordinated moves ofsix synchronized actuators, it is important to have integrated compensation features that minimize the unavoidable mechanical errors associated with direction reversal.
