How Can the Advantages of Hexapods Be Easily Used in Automation?

Learn in the White Paper "Controlling Hexapods via Ethercat<sup>®</sup>" How Integration into the Process Environment Works

· Doris Knauer

Parallel-kinematic hexapod robots can move and position tools, workpieces, and complex components with weights ranging from a few grams to several hundred kilograms or even several tons in any spatial orientation with high precision. The PI hexapod controller with integrated EtherCAT interface now makes it very easy for users to integrate hexapods into automation systems without it being necessary to perform challenging kinematic transformations.

New Hexapod Catalog

High-Precision Positioning in six Axes

Automating processes in production, inspection, and testing requires increasingly more accuracy in the micrometer or even nanometer range. Hexapods are predestined for precision positioning in several axes. Their parallel-kinematic design allows a greater bandwidth of loads, travel ranges, and velocities. The new catalog now presents the entire product range and includes the extensive range of matching controllers and software tools with all technical data.
