PI is the world leader in high accuracy Hexapod positioning systems (6-DOF Stewart motion platforms). PI's core business is ultra-high-precision motion control. With more than 1400 employees in many countries around the world, and three decades of hexapod 6-axis robot positioning system design experience (mechanics, motion controller and software), PI can provide a solution for your next precision motion project quickly. PI recently acquired a number of motion and positioning companies and can also offer 1,2,3,4,5 axis stages, if 6-axis motion is not required. Examples are multi-axis motion and positioning systems with linear motors, air bearings and industrial EtherCat-based motion controllers. PI's electro-mechanical and piezo-motor Hexapod robot (Stewart-Gough) platforms have many advantages over hydraulic hexapods. They are smaller, more energy efficeint, offer much higher precision and most are self locking on power-off. The latest models provide absolute position encoders for added speed and security after power up. PI hexapod 6-axis robots are available in many sizes, configurations for loads from 2kg to more than 1000kg.
