Tough, compact hexapod for industrial applications
PI (Physik Instrumente) offers the H-815 high-accuracy industrial hexapod – a rugged, high-resolution, six-degree-of-freedom parallel kinematic motion platform engineered for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding industrial environments.
The H-815 hexapod offers sub-micron resolution, high stability and long-term repeatability, making it ideally suited for precision alignment and motion tasks in applications such as camera lens assembly, Micro-LED manufacturing, photonics, aerospace systems and fibre optic device integration.
With a compact mechanical envelope – featuring a 155 mm overall height and a 222 mm baseplate diameter – the H-815 supports payloads up to 10 kg (22 lbs) while maintaining high structural stiffness. Its advanced controller enables fully synchronised motion across all six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, yaw), ensuring precise, multi-axis positioning and alignment across any spatial orientation.
Key design elements include high-stiffness cardanic joints for enhanced rigidity, precision ball screw actuators that minimise friction and extend operational lifespan, and absolute position encoders that eliminate the need for homing sequences, thereby reducing initialisation time and increasing throughput in automated environments.
Ideal for industrial precision alignment, metrology and assembly, PI says the H-815 sets a new standard for high-accuracy, 6-axis motion in continuous-operation environments. Industries served include automotive, aerospace, electronics, photonics, optics, precision assembly and test, semiconductors and microLED production.
