Hexapod, High Precision, 200 mm Diameter Platform, 20 kg Load, M6

The HXP100-MECA High Precision 6-Axis Hexapod is a parallel kinematic motion device with a 200 mm diameter platform and 20 kg load capacity. It provides six degrees of freedom: X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw for an effective solution to complex motion applications that demand high load capacity and accuracy in up to six independent axes. The HXP100-MECA hexapod is compatible with our
High Precision Actuators

The quality of actuators has a critical impact on the overall motion performance of a hexapod. Drawing on over 55 years of Newport's expertise in actuators, the top plate of HXP hexapods is driven by 6 industry-proven, high-performance actuators with encoder feedback at the leadscrew nut to provide precise minimum incremental motion, low backlash and fast speed.
Innovative Actuator Joints

Of equal importance to overall motion performance as the actuators are the 12 joints that connect these actuators to the base plate and moving top plate. Rather than using ordinary universal joints, HXP hexapods utilize ceramic spherical joints to ensure constant preload over full travel, enhancing rigidity that reduces material stress, while improving performance and avoiding corrosion. The result is a hexapod that is more rigid with higher load capacity compared to other similarly sized hexapods.
