H-860 Motion Hexapod

Thanks to its excellent dynamic properties, the H-860 is ideally suited for motion simulation. The hexapod is used in test systems, e.g., for image stabilization in cameras and mobile devices. Further fields of application include quality assurance of camera test systems and image stabilization software, vibration simulation, eye tracking, simulation of human and artificial motion.

The friction-free drive design is based on voice coil drives and flexure guides. The struts and platform are made of carbon fiber for minimal moved mass and inertia.

Parallel-kinematic 6-axis system

Parallel-kinematic design for 6 degrees of freedom, making it significantly more compact and stiffer than serial-kinematic systems, no moved cables. Precise running of predefined motion profiles with high path accuracy: sine curves and freely definable trajectories.

PIMag^® voice coil drive

Voice coil drives consist of two essential components: a permanent magnet and a coil that is located in the air gap of the magnetic field. Thanks to their low weight and friction-free drive principle, voice coil drives are particularly suitable for applications that require high dynamics and high velocities at limited travel ranges. High scan frequencies and precision positioning are also possible with these drives, because they are free of the effects of hysteresis.

The simulation software simulates the limits of the workspace and payload of a hexapod. Therefore, even before purchasing, you can check whether a particular hexapod model can handle the loads, forces, and torques occurring in an application. For this purpose, the simulation tool takes the position and motion of the hexapod as well as the pivot point and several reference coordinate systems into account.
