Aerotech Introduces New Mini Hexapod
Exceptional performance, compact size, competitive price
PITTSBURGH, January 8, 2025 – Aerotech Inc., a global leader in precision motion control and automation, today introduced the HexGen® HEX150-125HL Miniature Hexapod, a six degree-of-freedom (DOF) precision positioning system. This compact, cost-effective hexapod, with a 150 mm base diameter and a nominal height of 125 mm, achieves minimum incremental motion to 15 nm and payload capacity up to 12 kg for applications requiring multi-DOF motion – especially those with constricted operational environments.
HEX150-125HL’s advanced features and capabilities include maximum speeds up to 30 mm/s and 30 °/s, a robust design and superior peak-to-peak repeatability over a large travel range. Its minimalistic two-cable connectorization design allows for easy installation and straightforward integration with our motion controller – ultimately enabling seamless coordination with other motion axes.
“The market is excited about our newest hexapod, and so are we,” said Brian Fink, Product Manager at Aerotech. “HEX150-125HL provides users with consistent, reliable six-DOF motion in a compact yet stiff platform. This hexapod comes standard with guaranteed peak-to-peak performance at a competitive price point and low total cost of ownership. Plus, pairing it with our powerful, intuitive Automation1 motion control platform makes integration with other motion axes easy,” stated Fink.
HEX150-125HL miniature hexapods are ideal for a broad range of applications including:
- Silicon-photonic device manufacturing and inspection
- Optics inspection, alignment and bonding
- Photonic device manipulation and advanced packaging
- Optical wafer probing
- Electro-optics testing and qualification
- Many other high-precision manufacturing and inspection applications
