3.1 Features and Applications
The various models (p. 7) of H-811 hexapod that are offered differ with respect to the
maximum velocity, and load capacity as well as suitability for use in a vacuum.
The parallel-kinematic design 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 a controller that can be ordered separately from PI (p. 8). The
position commands to the controller are entered as Cartesian coordinates.
