PI releases H-815 hexapod robot for industrial applications - The Robot Report

PI Physik Instrumente L.P. (PI) has launched the H-815, a six-axis hexapod robot designed for continuous 24/7 industrial operation. This compact and robust parallel kinematic motion system offers high reliability, fast velocity (up to 20 mm/s), and ultra-precise movement with six degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, yaw). Engineered for applications in silicon photonics, semiconductor manufacturing, optics, metrology, automotive, electronics, and photonics, the H-815 features high-quality cardanic joints with Z-offset for superior stiffness and backlash-free operation, even in varied orientations. Its low-profile design (155 mm height, 222 mm baseplate diameter) supports a 10 kg load capacity, enabling integration into existing production lines. The H-815 uses ball-screw actuators with absolute-measuring encoders on all six axes, eliminating the need for referencing and reducing startup time while enhancing precision. It achieves
