Automation & IIoT - Featured Product
PI USA - Hexapod for Industrial Alignment
This new compact 6-axis hexapod was designed with 24/7 industrial precision alignment tasks and easy serviceability in mind. It is equipped with absolute encoders (no need for referencing) and motor brakes that automatically engage during a loss of power, for extra safety. Debuting at Photonics West 2025 last month, applications include camera lens alignment, micro assembly, and fiber optical alignment applications.
