Product catalog summary
Overview
The SURES hexapod is a high-resolution, small-sized hexapod designed for precise motion and positioning applications. It is capable of handling payloads up to 500 kg and operates effectively in any orientation and at high altitudes.

Key Features
  • Payload capacity: Up to 500 kg
  • Low cross-coupling motions
  • Operational in any orientation and at high altitudes
  • Equipped with absolute encoders

Applications
  • Astronomy
  • High accuracy positioning
  • Optical adjustment
  • Positioning of telescope mirrors
  • Antenna qualification

Case Studies
  • The ARIES telescope in India uses the SURES hexapod for its 3.6 m diameter primary mirror, achieving less than 0.7 arcsec cross-coupling in tip-tilt.
  • The OAJ T250 telescope in Spain utilizes the hexapod for positioning its 450 kg secondary mirror with 0.35 µm linear and 0.5 arcsec angular resolutions.
  • Two SURES hexapods are used in the DAG 4m telescope in Turkey to realign optics and improve imaging quality.

Sures hexapod-1

High resolution hexapod small size KEY FEATURES ■ Payload capacity up to 500 kg ■ Low cross coupling motions ■ Operational at high altitude ■ Positioning of mirror of telescope ■ High accuracy positioning ARIES telescope is installed in Nainital in India. With a primary mirror of 3.6 m diameter, it is the largest optical centre in the country. Cross-coupling of SURES hexapod is less than 0.7 arcsec in tip-tilt during centering or focus. SURES hexapod positions the 450 kg secondary mirror of OAJ T250 telescope in Spain with 0.35 fjm linear and 0.5 arcsec angular resolutions. The SURES hexapod for OAJ has a 920 mm diameter. Two identical SURES hexapods position the M2 and M3 mirrors of DAG 4m telescope in Turkey. They realign the optics in order to compensate relative displacements due to gravity and temperature change during observation. Thus they improve the imaging quality of the telescope.
