Symetrie has introduced Solano, a new ultra-compact hexapod measuring 104mm height and 120mm in diameter, for precision positioning applications.
Designed to position up to 5kg payloads, Solano offers exceptional speed of 30mm/s and 20°/s thanks to its direct drive brushless motors.
The hexapod guarantees resolutions of 0.1µm and 2.5µrad, and has a travel range up to ±18mm in translation and ±21° in rotation. It works in any orientation.
Solano is equipped with absolute encoders, providing great ease of use. It prevents the need to go through undesirable motion resultant of the homing when starting the system, as the hexapod’s position is immediately known.
The hexapod is delivered with a high-performance controller and a software interface compatible with LabVIEW, EPICS, SPEC, TANGO or C. Its ergonomic software enables virtual configuration of the pivot point and an easily changeable coordinate system.
