3.1 Features and Applications
The various models (p. 12) of the H-845 hexapod that are offered differ with respect to
the maximum velocity and load capacity.
The parallel-kinematic design of the hexapod offers the following advantages:
 Positioning operations in six independent axes (three translational axes, three
rotational axes) with short settling times
 The center of rotation moves together with the motion platform
 High accuracy and step resolution in all axes
 No accumulation of errors of individual axes
 No friction and torques from moving cables
The hexapod is controlled with the hexapod controller, which is delivered with the
hexapod. The position commands to the hexapod controller are entered as Cartesian
coordinates.
