H-811 Hexapod Microrobot
NOTICE
Damage due to collisions!
Collisions can damage the hexapod, the load to be moved, and the surroundings.
Make sure that no collisions are possible between the hexapod, the load to be moved, and
the surroundings in the workspace of the hexapod.
Do not place any objects in areas where they can be caught by moving parts.
Stop the motion immediately if a controller malfunction occurs.
NOTICE
Damage from unintentional position changes!
The self-locking of the hexapod struts is very low. Although the installed load complies with the
limit value resulting from the load test (p. 24), it can trigger an unintentional change in the
position of the hexapod if the servo mode or the controller is switched off and in addition, one
of the following conditions is met:
The hexapod is
not
mounted with a horizontally oriented base plate but in any other
orientation.
The hexapod is mounted with a horizontally oriented base plate and is
not
in the reference
position.
As a result of unintentional position changes, the actuators in the hexapod struts can be
damaged, and collisions between the hexapod, the load to be moved and the surroundings are
possible. Collisions can damage the hexapod, the load to be moved or the surroundings.
Support the motion platform or the load appropriately when the servo mode or the
controller is switched off.
NOTICE
Heating up of the hexapod in the vacuum!
The hexapod heats up during operation in the vacuum.
Allow the heat to dissipate accordingly.

Starting Up the Hexapod System
Requirements
You have read and understood the general notes on startup (p. 37).
You have correctly installed the hexapod, i.e., you have mounted the hexapod onto a
surface, fixed the load to the hexapod and connected the hexapod to the controller
according to the instructions in "Installation" (p. 23).
You have read and understood the user manual of the controller.
