Hexapod motion is defined by a global coordinate system and a local coordinate system, making programming motion more intuitive for standard research, metrology and manufacturing applications. Users can program up to two virtual pivot points without calculating coordinate system transformations or powering down the controller. The two virtual pivot points are origins of the two definable coordinates systems: Tool, which moves with the top plate, and Work, which is a stationary reference. This allows the user to conceptualize how the sample and tool are manipulated. For this 6-axis device, complex motion is simplified for easy user program development.

These trajectory functions facilitate motion with:
• Less runout (deviation from the trajectory) during the move
• Continuous multi-dimensional motion path
• Constant velocity along the trajectory path
• Equal trajectory acceleration at start and end of move: acceleration = deceleration
• Calculations are performed before motion so there is no lag time
Our HexaViz hexapod simulator allows you to discover which Newport Hexapod model best fits your application needs before ordering. Newport's FREE HexaViz Hexapod Simulation Software provides an easy-to-use virtual hexapod interface to evaluate travel range, load capacity, force, and torque characteristics.
Our HXP-ELEC high-performance multi-axis hexapod motion controllers are dedicated for the use with Newport Hexapods. The HXP-ELEC is based on the same hardware as the Newport XPS Universal High Performance Motion Controller/Driver, however it is preconfigured with special firmware to command the Hexapod mechanics. Firmware features are designed for simplified programming and integration. Choose the controller with the same prefix as the hexapod you would like to control. See accessory table below for compatible controllers.
The HXP series is also available in a High Accuracy Hexapod version that gurantees accuracy values – this enables the use of these hexapods in applications where position accuracy is required. When higher loads are needed, the High Load HXP series offers up to 450 kg of centered load capacity. And for vacuum aplications, the Vacuum Compatible HXP is rated for use at 10-6 hPa.
Generally, interferometry is a family of techniques in which waves, usually electromagnetic, are superimposed in order to extract information. Interferometry can illustrate the flatness of optical surfaces to a very high resolution. Newport offers an extensive range of hexapod sizes that enable high precision interferometry. Our motion experts can also custom engineer a hexapod to meet your specifications, even for optics larger than 1.5 m in diameter.
Optical assemblies often require strict alignment and holding position tolerance of sensitive optical elements to accurately direct beams. Hexapods offer the advantage of high precision and repeatable motion in six degrees of freedom. In conjunction with feedback systems, hexapod based optical systems will meet even the higher requirements.
For alignment of optical fibers or optical devices (single or multi-mode, single to multi-channel, Si photonics) it is critical that motion is controlled not just in X, Y, and Z but also in tip and tilt. When coupled with alignment software such as APOGEE, the solution becomes a turnkey automated alignment system.
Optical and electron imaging/microscopy involve the diffraction, reflection, or refraction of light/electron beams interacting with the specimen. The scattered radiation or electrons are measured and used in the construction of an image. When imaging small complex structures, Newport hexapods offer a competitive advantage with high precision, six degree of freedom and motion control in a compact solution.
Our expertise in the design of advanced diffractometry solutions for synchrotrons is second to none. Sample position at beam ends can best be solved with hexapods. These solutions serve fundamental and applied research in areas such as life health sciences, physics and materials sciences.
