NEXLINE® Piezo Tripod / Piezo Hexapod - Non Magnetic 6-Axis Precision Positioning System
Hexapod
PI has developed a custom, non-magnetic piezoelectric hexapod based on the N-215 NEXLINE® ultra-precision piezo motor drives. This Hexapod 6-axis precision positioning system can be used in applications with very strong magnetic fields.Preliminary Specifications:
- 8” Aperture
- Load 50kg
- Low Profile: 140mm
- Translation XYZ: 10mm
- Rotation all axes: 6 °
