Hexapod Enables Highly Dynamic 6-D Compensation Kinematic for Robots

· Stefan Vorndran

Physik Instrumente developed a high-performance 6-DOF hexapod motion and positioning system for highly dynamic compensation kinematics in aircraft construction. The project's goal was to enhance the processing and sealing precision of CFRP-components in resin transfer molding manufacturing processes, while also reducing manufacturing times and process costs.

Hexapods Make Complex Motion Profiles Simple

· PI (Physik Instrumente) Ltd.

What can you use hexapods for? A common application is the rapid and accurate alignment of two components in six degrees of freedom during an automated production process, for instance, a printed circuit board (PCB) and a lens, or a PCB and a charge-coupled device.

A Critical Shortage

Inspiring students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)

· Kevin Grimley

There is an urgent need to inspire a younger generation to make a career choice that takes them into the high technology sector. I was therefore really excited to be able to go into a high school in Luton recently to talk to 120 GCSE students who were interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
