GROUNDBREAKING KINEMATIC MULTI-AXIS POSITIONER

3SAE PentaPod® Multi-Axis Positioner 

3SAE’s PentaPod® is a groundbreaking Parallel-Kinematic Multi-Axis Positioning Stage. This innovative stage seamlessly merges the benefits of both a Parallel stage and a Serial stage, delivering an impressive 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF). The PentaPod® features a genuine “parallel kinematic design,” ensuring exceptional positional stiffness and minimal crosstalk across all axes. Experience unparalleled precision and versatility with the PentaPod® – setting a new standard in multi-axis positioning.

Unique Features
  • High resolution, 6DOF positioner with novel, patented design principle yielding sub-micron resolution and unmatched rigidity.

  • Compact yet fully self-contained with built-in, fanless controller. Quick integration: USB or optional Ethernet and analog connectivity. No moving cables, no big controller box.

  • Parallel kinematic design eliminates the 24 complex rotary bearings of traditional Stewart Platform hexapods for superior stiffness, settling, ambient vibration rejection, reliability, cleanliness and cost.

  • Software-settable rotational pivot point facilitates optical and photonic processing.

  • Small size and low profile without compromising on stroke, precision, or crosstalk.

  • Tuning-free technology and high inherent stiffness mean robust, stable operation in mission-critical applications even with varying loads. MTBF and 20 min MTTR beat any hexapod in cost of ownership.
