A hexapod, also known as a Stewart Platform, offers motion in 6 degrees of freedom (XYZ, Pitch, Roll, Yaw). Different models are available to handle loads up to 2000kg. The parallel kinematic design provides a tremendous advantage over conventional multi-axis positioners constructed from a stack of single axis stages. But what type or configuration is best for your project?
