High resolution hexapod small size KEY FEATURES ■ Payload capacity up to 10 kg ■ Linear travel range ± 20 mm ■ Angular travel range ± 15 ° ■ Height in middle position 145 mm ■ Aeronautics and spatial ■ Metrology ■ Testing laboratories ■ Synchrotrons This hexapod places a sample at the centre of two large rotation stages. With this installation, hexapod mounting orientation varies between 0° and 90o. Advantages of the hexapod are: high stability, stiffness and repeatability of the sample position with respect to the rotation stages independently of their orientations. Alignment of a mirror with high precision on a space telescope. When the hexapod has correctly positioned the mirror, the user fixes the mirror and takes the hexapod off the structure. Two BORA hexapods position Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) mirrors with high stability and resolution to improve the beam quality on a synchrotron beamline. Some HV BORA hexapods are positioning the high reflectivity mirrors of a Fabry-Perot cavity in order to optimize their alignment and thereby the cavity finesse.
