When multi-axis solutions are required for precise positioning tasks in automation technology, parallel kinematic systems are often the ideal solution. One example of this is hexapods, which can position loads extremely accurately with different travel ranges. Possible applications range from mechanical engineering and robotics to medical technology, research and high-precision measurement of optical components.
