Hexapods for Advanced Production Processes and Multi-Axis Platform Stabilization

May 6, 2024
Six-axis hexapods enable new levels of flexibility in precision automation and assembly applications, including aerospace, automotive, photonics & semiconductor manufacturing. Hexapods can also actively stabilize mechanical platforms in 6-DOFs.

In this white paper, you’ll see the results of a recent test conducted using a gyroscope to provide feedback to a hexapod controller to compensate for multi-degree-of-freedom disturbances and to maintain a horizontal top plate during the process. During each trial, the gyroscopic position data was used in a control loop for an H-811. The environmental angular disturbances were generated using a second hexapod. This way, the disturbances would be repeatable, easily measurable, and readily configurable.
