EURONAVAL 2026
High-precision hexapods for naval and defence applications
Come and see our HEGOA and BREVA hexapods at stand C78
Symétrie will be taking part in EURONAVAL 2026, the international trade fair dedicated to naval defence technologies and maritime systems. This event brings together manufacturers, experts and institutional stakeholders who are developing next-generation equipment for maritime environments.
Optronic systems, on-board sensors and surveillance equipment require positioning solutions capable of ensuring precise alignment, high stability and integration suited to the constraints of on-board systems.
Thanks to their parallel architecture, Symétrie hexapods ensure simultaneous control of all six degrees of freedom. In particular, they enable the positioning of instruments, the adjustment of optical assemblies and the reproduction of complex movements during the development and qualification phases.
HEGOA and BREVA: two solutions for your positioning projects
At EURONAVAL, we will be showcasing HEGOA and BREVA, two hexapods designed to meet a variety of requirements in terms of precision, dynamics and integration.
HEGOA is suitable for applications requiring compact and dynamic positioning, whilst BREVA is designed for projects demanding high precision and a load capacity suited to the integrated equipment.
Examples of applications
• Alignment and adjustment of optronic systems and sensors.
• Positioning of cameras, optical instruments and measurement sub-assemblies.
• Motion simulation for testing on-board equipment.
• Functional testing and qualification of high-tech systems.
These examples illustrate various possible applications, which can be adapted to the specifications and constraints of each project.

FAQ
What kinds of movements can the Symétrie hexapod perform?
The hexapod can perform combined movements based on its six degrees of freedom: three translations (X, Y, Z) and three rotations (Rx, Ry, Rz). This flexibility allows for complex adjustments that are impossible with conventional guidance systems.
What is the accuracy or resolution of the movements?
Our hexapods achieve resolutions on the order of 0.1 µm for translations and a few microradians for rotations. Repeatability is one of our strengths, ensuring the accuracy of every positioning operation.
What materials are used to build the hexapod?
We use high-performance materials such as anodized aerospace-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and components specifically designed for demanding environments (vacuum, cleanroom, non-magnetic).
Is it compatible with various software programs or control systems?
Absolument. Nous fournissons des bibliothèques de fonctions (SDK) compatibles avec LabVIEW, C++, Python, ainsi que des interfaces spécifiques pour les environnements de recherche comme EPICS ou TANGO.
Is the hexapod safe for use in laboratories or industrial settings?
Safety and reliability are at the heart of our design. The software includes configurable travel limits, virtual collision detection, and hardware safety features to protect your equipment and samples.
