GROUNDBREAKING KINEMATIC MULTI-AXIS POSITIONER
3SAE PentaPod® Multi-Axis Positioner
3SAE’s PentaPod® is a groundbreaking Kinematic Multi-Axis Positioner. This innovative stage seamlessly merges the benefits of both a Parallel stage and a Serial stage, delivering an impressive 5/6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF). The PentaPod® features a genuine “parallel kinematic design,” ensuring exceptional positional stiffness and minimal crosstalk across all motion axes. Experience unparalleled precision and versatility with the PentaPod® – setting a new standard in multi-axis positioning.
Unique Features
- Uses unique, patented, 5-degree of freedom joints that facilitate sub-micron precision motion in 5 or 6 axes.
- Offers a simple system integration with a single USB connection and no external controller required.
- Parallel Kinematic design providing exceptional positioning accuracy and stiffness.
- Software adjustable point of rotation.
- Small size and low profile without compromising on stroke, precision, or crosstalk.
- A fraction of the cost and complexity of a comparable Hexapod.
