They choose Symétrie outdoor hexapod
Outdoor-compatible hexapods
Performance and precision in real conditions
Symétrie dynamic hexapods can be compatible for outdoor testing, where climatic conditions impose severe mechanical and environmental constraints: dust, humidity, wind, sand, rain, hail, snow, or solar radiation.
These multi-axis motion platforms enable systems and instruments to be tested, aligned, and validated in conditions representative of the field, without compromising positioning accuracy or long-term reliability.
Thanks to their parallel architecture with six degrees of freedom, Symétrie hexapods offer rigid, responsive, and reproducible kinematics, suitable for testing antennas, sensors, or scientific instruments subjected to variable environments.
Robust design and environmental protection
Each hexapod compatible for outdoor use is developed with a focus on durability and environmental resistance:
- Reinforced welded or machined structure, treated against corrosion (anodizing, epoxy paint, stainless steel).
- Protective bellows or skirts for joints and cylinders, limiting the intrusion of particles and water.
- Optional humidity and temperature control systems, ensuring stable performance over a wide range of temperatures.
- Remote or enclosed electronics, allowing for easy maintenance and better resistance to climatic variations.
These features ensure reliable, stable, and accurate operation even during prolonged outdoor testing in maritime, desert, or mountain environments.
