High payload hexapods for precision positioning
SYMETRIE high payload hexapods deliver exceptional micrometric precision, capable of positioning components weighing up to several tons. Their rigid parallel architecture ensures perfect stability, repeatable trajectories, and optimal control, even under heavy loads.
Designed for demanding industries such as space, astronomy, synchrotrons, R&D, and energy, these hexapods allow the reliable alignment, calibration, and positioning of critical instruments and heavy components, providing a unique solution that combines precision, robustness, and repeatability.
High payload hexapods for motion simulation
SYMETRIE high-capacity hexapods not only provide precision positioning but also enable the simulation of complex dynamic movements. They can handle loads of several tens of tons while offering high accelerations, fast speeds, and large linear and angular amplitudes.
Ideal for industries such as defense, naval, aerospace, R&D, and energy, they allow the testing, reproduction, or real-time simulation of precise movements, including those recorded via inertial measurement systems, providing a complete solution for the validation, calibration, and experimentation of critical systems under demanding dynamic conditions.

FAQ
What kinds of movements can the Symétrie hexapod perform?
The hexapod can perform combined movements across its six degrees of freedom: three translations (X, Y, Z) and three rotations (Rx, Ry, Rz). This flexibility allows for complex adjustments that would be impossible with conventional guidance systems.
What is the accuracy or resolution of the movements?
Our hexapods achieve resolutions of around 0.1 µm for linear motion and a few microradians for rotational motion. Repeatability is one of our key strengths, ensuring the accuracy of every positioning operation.
What materials are used to make the hexapod?
We use high-performance materials such as anodised aerospace-grade aluminium, stainless steel and components specifically designed for demanding environments (vacuum, cleanroom, non-magnetic).
Is it compatible with different software or control systems?
Absolutely. We provide function libraries (SDKs) compatible with LabVIEW, C++ and Python, as well as specific interfaces for research environments such as EPICS and TANGO.
Is the hexapod safe for use in laboratories or in industry?
Safety and reliability are at the heart of our design. The software features configurable travel limits, virtual collision detection and hardware safety features to protect your equipment and samples.
