The drift is often caused by thermal effect and by electronics.<\/p>\n<h3>Hysteresis error<\/h3>\n<p>It is a deviation between the actual and commanded position at the point of interest caused by elastic forces and friction forces.<\/p>\n<h3>Metrology<\/h3>\n<p>Science of measurement.<\/p>\n<h3>Repeatability<\/h3>\n<p>Deviation from the average of actual positions when the system is commanded several times to go to the desired position.<br \/>\nRepeatability is given as unidirectional repeatability in any point of the axis with \u00b1 1 standard deviation (parameter R+ following ISO 230-2 standard).<\/p>\n<h3>Resolution<\/h3>\n<p>Resolution is seen as minimum incremental motion (MIM). It is the smallest motion increment that the system is able to achieve in a consistent and detectable manner.<\/p>\n<h3>Stability<\/h3>\n<p>Defines how much the hexapod deviates from its position over time without any new command.<\/p>\n<h3>Stiffness<\/h3>\n<p>Defines how much the hexapod deforms when subject to an applied force. Stiffness is determinant to increase the natural frequency.<\/p>\n<h3>Straightness<\/h3>\n<p>Defines the deviation of the hexapod position from its trajectory when commanded to move on a straight line.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1586291573195{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2>MISCELLANEOUS GLOSSARY<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;txt-justify&#8221;]\n<h3>Application Programming Interface (API)<\/h3>\n<p>A command line interface which allows to communicate with the hexapod controller without using the GUI.<\/p>\n<h3>Absolute encoder<\/h3>\n<p>Position feedback sensor retains position data after a power failure. Unlike an incremental encoder, there is no need to originate to give a position value.<br \/>\nAn absolute encoder can be linear or rotary.<\/p>\n<h3>Graphical User Interface (GUI)<\/h3>\n<p>An intuitive interface which allows the user to control the hexapod.<\/p>\n<h3>Hexapod<\/h3>\n<p>Parallel kinematics system composed of six struts to provide motion and accuracy for positioning in the six Degrees Of Freedom (6 DOF) also called Gough-Stewart platform or Stewart platform.<\/p>\n<h3>Invar<\/h3>\n<p>Invar is a nickel\u2013iron alloy (Fe36Ni \u2013 64FeNi in the USA) notable for its uniquely low coefficient of thermal expansion. The name Invar comes from the word invariable, referring to its relative lack of expansion or contraction with temperature changes.<\/p>\n<h3>Parallel kinematics<\/h3>\n<p>A parallel kinematics system is a mechanical system that uses several (at least two) computer-controlled serial chains to support a single platform, or end-effector. Compared to a serial kinematics system in which each degree of freedom is dependent, the degrees of freedom in a parallel kinematics system are interdependent.<\/p>\n<h3>Pivot point<\/h3>\n<p>Center of rotation around which the hexapod applies the motions.
