Hexapod FAQs: Why use 6-DOF Motion Platforms / Precision Parallel Positioners
stage and additional measuring legs for redundancy (medical application). PI’s modular PlanarPod (SpaceFAB) design allows even greater flexibility. Here the travel range of the X and/or Y axes is only limited [...] active struts, self-locking hexapods, servo motor-driven, and piezo-motor driven ones, etc. The SpaceFAB planar 6-axis design provides longer travel in the XY plane and a lower profile, at slightly reduced
