Symmetry, the specialist in precision positioning hexapods, presents HexaSym, a free simulator for checking the travel and load capacities of a hexapod. This tool is eagerly awaited by potential users, as it will help them select the product best suited to their application.
The parallel structure of the hexapod offers many advantages over a more conventional series structure: low mass, stiffness, higher load capacity thanks to its distribution over the six actuators... but it's less obvious to know a priori all its travel capacities, as the six degrees of freedom are interdependent.
According to Symmetry, "With HexaSym, it's easy to test cumulative strokes on several axes simultaneously, while modifying the center of rotation, the hexapod orientation (vertical, horizontal, other) as well as the load."
The HexaSym simulator also includes a 3D visualization that shows how the hexapod moves according to the position setpoints.
Using HexaSym will enable us to validate the integration of the best hexapod solution right from the design phase.
