Engineered for continuous operation, the H-815 combines sub-micron positioning accuracy with a compact, high-stiffness architecture—ideal for precision alignment in space-constrained and demanding industrial environments.
SHREWSBURY, Mass., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning, offers the H-815 high-accuracy industrial hexapod, a rugged, a high-resolution, six-degree-of-freedom parallel kinematic motion platform engineered for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding industrial environments.
The H-815 hexapod offers sub-micron resolution, high stability, and long-term repeatability, making it ideally suited for precision alignment and motion tasks in applications such as camera lens assembly, Micro-LED manufacturing, photonics, aerospace systems, and fiber optic device integration.
With a compact mechanical envelope—featuring a 155 mm overall height and a 222 mm baseplate diameter—the H-815 supports payloads up to 10 kg (22 lbs) while maintaining high structural stiffness. Its advanced controller enables fully synchronized motion across all six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, yaw), ensuring precise, multi-axis positioning and alignment across any spatial orientation.
Key design elements include high-stiffness cardanic joints for enhanced rigidity, precision ball screw actuators that minimize friction and extend operational lifespan, and absolute position encoders that eliminate the need for homing sequences, thereby reducing initialization time and increasing throughput in automated environments.
Key Features & Benefits
