Hexapods in Microproduction
point of the hexapod can also be freely defined. High Performance Digital Controller Communicates with the Control System Due to their parallel-kinematic design, hexapods require special control. This is why [...] transforming the Cartesian target positions into control of each individual drive. With the exception of the hexapod axes, the digital controller is also able to control two further axes, for example, linear stages [...] 360° motion. Easy connection of a higher-level control system is also possible. The PLC can then communicate with the Hexapod system, for example, via EtherCat. As master, it specifies the target positions
