Vacuum Compatible 6-Axis Hexapod Positioners /
Vacuum Motion Platforms |
|
PI is the world leader in high precision Hexapod parallel kinematic robotics design / Stewart Platform systems for multi-axis alignment and precision automation applications. PI's core business is ultra-precision motion control. With more than 1400 employees world wide, 50 years of experience in precision motion control and more than three decades of hexapod mechanics, controller and software design experience, PI can get your multi-axis precision motion and automaton project up to speed significantly faster than anybody else. Adding to our experience are the motion control specialists from the PI USA and PI miCos performance automation divisions, with a long history of hexapod parallel robotics design know-how and a broad product offering of high-vacuum and ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) precision positioning systems.
PI's electro-mechanical and piezoelectric Hexapod (Stewart-Gough) motion and positioning platforms have many advantages over hydraulic hexapods. They are more energy efficient, more compact and provide significantly higher accuracy. In addition, most are self locking, with no power requirements at rest. Available in many standard and custom configurations, sizes, for loads from 2 kg to more than 1000 kg.
