Hexapod, Vacuum Compatible, 125 mm Diameter Platform, 5 kg Load, M6 The HXP50V6-MECA Vacuum Compatible 6-Axis Hexapod is a parallel kinematic motion device that provides six degrees of freedom: X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw. The HXP50V6 has a 5 kg centered load capacity and is a cost-effective solution to complex motion applications that demand repeatability and accuracy in up to six independent axes. Contrary to the image of hexapods being complex and highly priced, the HXP50 hexapod is not only affordable but extremely easy to use. Determine if the HXP50V6-MECA is the right hexapod for your application by using Newport's free HexaViz Simulation Software . Order with HXP50V6-ELEC-D.
Note that mechanics are designed to operate to 10-6 Torr, but the connectors are not vacuum compatible. For vacuum compatible connectors, outgassing tests or for faster delivery, call Newport (800) 222 6440.
