How Hexapod Are Helping Manufacturers Achieve Precise PositioningPosted by Anwar Ali on June 24th, 2019 As a business that is involved in manufacturing the benefits of automation isn't unknown to you. While there are many who look at automation from the prism of cost saving and expediting the process the whole reason behind installing robots in your manufacturing facility is different. The reason is these robots often perform tasks humans can't do. Among all the automation equipment that is being used in the industry these days, Hexapods are surely the most popular. They are being put to a variety of tasks where high-precision and high-accuracy are needed for alignment, simulate different functions of the device or testing the unit. Why does Business need To Opt for Hexapod Robot? Hybrid Hexapods Taking It To Next Level There were performance limitations in traditional hexapods that would often need accurate movement along all the six axes in order to achieve the required motion profile. Also, older varieties of Hexapod robot wouldn't always exhibit stiffness that would require achieving precision on the z-axis through their precision along the x-y axes were nearly flawless. In comes, the hybrid Hexapod and they bring an all-together different approach 6 Degree of Freedom (6-DOF) devices. They help in improving the performance by combining the XY monolithic stage with a tripod that offers continuous rotation along the theta-Z axis thus improving performance, precision, and productivity in the manufacturing process. As you can clearly see Hexapods have revolutionized the whole manufacturing process over the last many years and have helped industries achieve high levels of functionality and miniaturization in their products. With Hybrid hexapods, you will be able to able to give a new dimension to your manufacturing process and also stand ahead of the competition. Summary - In this write-up, we look at how Hexapod is helping businesses in the manufacturing process and achieving high precision. Like it? Share it!More by this author |
