The HXP100-MECA 6-Axis Hexapod offers a 20 kg centered load capacity and is controlled by the dedicated HXP100-ELEC hexapod controller/driver which is sold. This controller accurately masters the synchronized transformations from Cartesian input coordinates to the motion of the Hexapod legs. In addition, the HXP100-ELEC includes instrument grade I/O\'s, hardware based input triggers, event triggers, high-speed on-the-fly data acquisition, fast TCP/IP communication, and integrated TCL programming language for on-board processes. All these features improve accuracy and throughput, making the programmer’s life much easier. A common requirement for many Hexapod motion applications is a virtual pivot point for all rotations. The HXP-ELEC controller provides this as a standard feature and at Newport, we have taken this a step further. Not only can the Newport Hexapod relocate the pivot point, but through our advanced technology, the entire coordinate system can be relocated. In addition, two user-definable coordinate systems are provided, called Tool (moves with the Hexapod\'s top plate) and Work (stationary coordinate system). Incremental displacements are possible in either one of these Cartesian coordinate systems, and positions can be easily calculated from one system to the other by a function call. These powerful functions provide a completely new way of mastering Hexapod motions without the need for complex external coordinate transformations. Available in a vacuum version.
