Hexapods for Precision Motion and Vibration Control The hexapod is one form of parallel manipulator that is used increasingly in manufacturing, inspection and research This paper highlights features of several hexapods developed for different applications
HEXAPOD - KINEMATICS 7 ICS 1 1 Introduction Hexapod or so called Stewart platform mechanisms are widely used in precision en ineering applications The big advantage of this mechanism is the parallel linkage of all Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) from the movin
HXP HEXAPODS 6-AXIS-PARALLEL KINEMATIC POSITIONING SYSTEMS A hexapod is a parallel kinematic motion device that provides six degrees of freedom: X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw Hexapods are creative and effective solutions to complex motion applications that require high load capacity and accuracy in up to six independent axes
Design and Performance of a 6 DOF Hybrid Hexapod Published specifications for hexapods and the hybrid 6 DOF motion system showing the differences in XY to Z stiffness optical, and laser manufacturing applications where electrostatic, bonding, or mechanical forces are applied to the motion system
Summary - Design of a High Resolution Hexapod Positioning . . . calibrating the motion of each assembled hexapod would be critical In order to accomplish this, a test was required that could measur the hexapod's motion in all six degrees of freedom simultaneous
HEXAPOD - Quanser The Hexapod is parallel robotic device capable of moving heavy loads (up to 100 kg) at high accelerations, within a small workspace The smart mechanical design, along with accurate and stif machined components make this robot an excellent tool for cutting-edge research
