The video shows PI’s expertise in hexapod design and the ease of operation for the user: mechanics, controller and sofware tools were optimized over 25 years. Hexapod positioners are often referred to as Stewart Platforms. Read the Hexapod BLOG https://www.pi-usa.us/blog/?s=hexapod // A hexapod is based on a 6-axis (XYZ, Pitch, Roll, Yaw) actuator system arranged in parallel between a top and bottom platform. PI parallel kinematics (PKM) precision positioning systems have many advantages over serial kinematics stages, such as lower inertia, improved dynamics, smaller package size and higher stiffness. In addition hexaods are more flexible than conventional 6 axis positioners.
