Aerotech's latest miniature hexapod: 6-axis positioner ideal for automation
With the HEX150-125HL, Aerotech is launching the latest generation of its Hexapod technology.
The compact six-axis positioner combines precise movements with high load capacity and simple integration. The optimized design also offers excellent repeatability and minimal increments down to the nanometer range.
The HEX150-125HL was developed for maximum precision in positioning. Its sophisticated design with simplified cabling and improved kinematics enables outstanding dynamics and accuracy. With a maximum payload of 12 kg and movement ranges of up to 30 mm linear or 30° rotary per axis, the miniature hexapod is suitable for demanding industrial and scientific applications.
Thanks to its robust, rigid parallel kinematic design, it is particularly robust and ideal for automation solutions. Users from industries such as electronics, photonics, automotive, mechanical engineering and medical technology benefit from its high precision and dynamics -- especially in quality assurance and metrology.
Simon Smith, European Director at Aerotech, emphasizes: "The HEX150-125HL has been developed to enable more precise, faster and more flexible movements in confined spaces. With its combination of compact design, powerful control and easy integration, it offers an outstanding solution for a wide range of high-tech applications."
Flexible integration into existing systems
Its compact design with a simplified two-cable solution makes integration into research and production environments much easier. An optional mounting plate allows easy attachment to optical tables or breadboards. The 35 mm openings in the platform and base improve access to the workpiece and provide space for additional cables and hoses.
Powerful controls and intuitive software
The precise Aerotech motion controllers ensure maximum precision and user-friendliness. They support programming in multiple coordinate systems and offer an intuitive user interface. Real-time visualization and simulation tools facilitate the optimization of motion sequences. The HexGen™ software also simplifies the simulation of the working area and possible motion sequences.
Typical applications include:
- Optics testing, alignment and bonding
- Manipulation of photonic systems
- Optical wafer inspection
- Test procedures in the aerospace industry
- Electro-optical testing and qualification
- Manipulation of synchrotron and beamline samples
