Hexapod Hextron 1000
This PopNeuron tabletop Stewart platform, also known as a hexapod, is a versatile and compact motion system that offers precise control over multiple degrees of freedom. This hexapod features a sturdy base with a breadboard on top, providing a flexible platform for mounting various optical, electronic, and precision instruments for a wide range of applications. At the same time, PopNeuron’s model HX1000 is surprisingly affordable.
The hexapod is equipped with six high-precision motors that independently control the motion in six different axes: x, y, z, pitch, roll, and yaw. This allows for complex movements and adjustments with micron-level precision, making it ideal for applications requiring fine positional control and stability.
Despite its small size, this hexapod is built to be sturdy and durable, capable of handling many different loads while maintaining positional accuracy. Its compact design makes it easy to integrate into existing setups or workspaces, providing researchers and engineers with a reliable and versatile tool for their experiments and projects.
The hexapod can be controlled by several software platforms. PopNeuron offers a stand-alone driver program, a MatLab plugin and a Python plugin. An APP for smartphone control is coming soon.
Whether used in research laboratories, engineering facilities, or educational settings, the tabletop Stewart platform offers a valuable solution for positioning and manipulating instruments with precision and efficiency. Its configurable design and multi-axis control capabilities make it a valuable tool for applications ranging from optics and microscopy to robotics and industrial automation.
The Hextron 1000 is a modern interpretation of a classic concept.
Bread board design of top plate allows for ultimate flexibility when mounting optics or other components.
Stable and precise yet cost effective design.
