PI - the world leader in Hexapod (Stewart platform) systems design - has been manufacturing 6-Axis parallel-kinematcs precision positioning systems for industry and research for more than 15 years. An array of new standard and custom hexapods is now available for a large variety of applications. All provide six degrees of freedom, have no moving cables (which improves reliability and precision), and have virtual pivot points.

These new hexapods can be used in a vast variety of applications, and are able to withstand extreme conditions, such as:

• High Loads
• Moisture/Water
• High Altitudes
• Exposure to the Outdoors
• Applications Requiring Vacuum Compatibility.

• Medical(ex: surgery robotics), dental testing
• Optical Inspection / Manufacturing
• Astronomical Telescopes
• Adjusting Large Area Loads
• Alignment of secondary mirrors
• Semiconductor Technology
• Photonics Alignment
• Micromachining
• Micromanipulation
• Beamline / X-ray Diffraction Measurements
• Satellite Testing Equipment
• Tool Control
