Precision motion control and automation provider Aerotech Inc. has introduced the HexGen HEX150-125HL Miniature Hexapod, a six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) precision positioning system.

Specifically, the compact, cost-effective hexapod achieves minimum incremental motion to 15nm. Moreover, it has a payload capacity up to 12kg for applications requiring multi-DOF motion – especially those with constricted operational environments. with a 150mm base diameter and a nominal height of 125mm,

Seamless Coordination of Motion Axes

Aerotech’s HEX150-125HL’s advanced features and capabilities include maximum speeds up to 30mm/sec and 30°/s, a robust design and superior peak-to-peak repeatability over a large travel range. Its minimalistic two-cable connectorization design allows for easy installation and straightforward integration with our motion controller. Thus, ultimately enabling seamless coordination with other motion axes.

“The market is excited about our newest hexapod, and so are we,” said Brian Fink, Product Manager at Aerotech. “HEX150-125HL provides users with consistent, reliable six-DOF motion in a compact yet stiff platform. This hexapod comes standard with guaranteed peak-to-peak performance at a competitive price point and low total cost of ownership.”

In addition, Fink said pairing this with the company’s powerful and intuitive Automation1 motion control platform makes easy integration with other motion axes.

HEX150-125HL miniature hexapods are ideal for a broad range of applications including:
1. Silicon-photonic device manufacturing and inspection
2. Optics inspection, alignment and bonding
3. Photonic device manipulation and advanced packaging
4. Optical wafer probing
5. Electro-optics testing and qualification
6. Many other high-precision manufacturing and inspection applications
