HEXAPODS
The highest guaranteed accuracy available.
Our hexapods offer the highest positioning system accuracy – guaranteed with published specifications and performance plots.
Choose Aerotech hexapods when you need top performance and sub-micrometer precision.
Our ultra-precise hexapod positioners, also known as Stewart platforms, deliver industry-leading accuracy and repeatability in six degrees of freedom. Designed for high load capacities, large travel range and high speeds, they’re ideal for applications including photonic device manipulation and alignment systems, x-ray diffraction, synchrotron and beamline sample manipulation, aerospace and satellite sensor testing, and more.Â
Aerotech hexapod platforms are simple to control, too, thanks to our powerful, intuitive programming interfaces – so you don’t have to worry about any complex coding.
FEATURED PRODUCT
Designed for precision, with guaranteed positioning accuracy specifications.
Our HexGen® HEX150-125HL provides consistent and reliable six degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion in a compact yet stiff platform. You’ll benefit from ultra-fine positioning resolution, ample payload capacity, high process throughput and more. HEX150-125HL offers flexible integration and intuitive operation with our powerful motion controllers, making it the perfect choice for applications that require complex multi-DOF motion when available space is limited.
Ultra-Precision
We guarantee high-accuracy and high-resolution positioning performance to make your process better.
Reliability
Built to last, our hexapods can handle any 24/7 production operation.
One Controller
Easily manage all axes of motion from one user-friendly controller platform.
Industry-Leading Accuracy and Resolution
Aerotech hexapod motion systems are the most accurate on the market. Plus, we guarantee high-precision positioning accuracy with published specifications and performance plots. When it comes to resolution, we’re second to none – our hexapods can easily take 20-nanometer steps, measured and verified by an external device.
Simple to Program and Control
Built on years of experience in complex parallel-kinematic applications, our controls enable simple programming and use of the hexapod in multiple user-defined coordinate systems.Â
User-friendly features like an intuitive interface and real-time motion simulation and visualization help to minimize implementation time. And because one controller manages all types of axes through a unified motion platform, our hexapods integrate seamlessly with other Aerotech motion products.
