What you need to Specify in a Hexapod: ? There is a wide range of terms and necessary design criteria in defining how a Parallel Mechanism can best suit your application. We would be happy to spend some time with you to help you define the size and scope of your project and how a Hexapod can benefit your application. The list below is by no means all-inclusive but it does address some of the preliminary design requirements: Accuracy - When sent to a particular point and rotation in space, how close is it to that point (from microns to meters) Repeatability - When sent to the same point in space repeatedly how close to the same point is it every time (regardless of accuracy) Working Volume - The range of motion that the machine needs to pass a particular part through. This needs to be defined in all 6 DOF (X, Y, Z, Yaw, Pitch and Roll) Envelope - Outside constraints that intrude on the machine including floorspace, ceiling height, other equipment, etc. Payload - How much weight or force is the machine going to hold or receive. Power - Electrical power requirements Control - Method of communication with the motion control system and feedback from it. Orientation - Vertical, Horizontal, etc. Interface - What types of mechanical connections between the mechanism and other testing apparatus. Other devices - Integration of other equipment such as vision systems, load cells, etc. ? These are a few of the things that will need consideration and we will gladly help you to specify what you will need. Contact us with any questions Industrial Applications: ? Industrial applications can cover a wide range of uses but they all have one thing in common. Motion. From simply picking up a part here and depositing it there, to micro-positioning, if a part needs to move a PRSCO product can do it. ? It is common to use our products both in assembly lines and as stand alone applications. With other conventional robots, adjustments to these stations often requires shutting dow
