AEROTECH Automation1 iHXA4 6-Axis Hexapod Servo Drive with Motion Controller
Automation1 iHXA4 6-Axis Hexapod Servo Drive with Motion Controller
Automation1 iHXA4 is a compact 6-axis hexapod drive and motion controller, precisely engineered to amplify the advantages of our second-generation hexapod family including HEX150-125HL.
It simplifies your system design by treating the hexapod like any other axis on the Automation1 network, enabling effortless coordination across complex motion systems.
With only two connectors per hexapod, plus ample built-in analog and digital I/O, the iHXA4 reduces complexity without sacrificing capability.
The iHXA4 delivers an exceptional balance of capability and cost, making high-performance hexapod control more accessible than ever.
As part of the Automation1 motion control platform, the iHXA4 integrates seamlessly with our development software, controls, motor drives, fiber-optic HyperWire® communication bus and a full suite of automation tools.
Design Features
Includes full motion controller & drive in one package
Cost-effective, high-performance 6-axis design
Compact size minimizes panel space for easy integration
Built-in analog & digital I/O, part-speed PSO & safe torque off enhance connectivity, performance & safety
Compatible with all Aerotech second-generation hexapods
Offers effortless integration & coordination with other Aerotech axes & drives—just another axis on the Automation1 network
Key Applications
Automation1 iHXA4 is ideal for controlling hexapods for a variety of applications, including:
Optics inspection, alignment & bonding
Photonic device manipulation, alignment & packaging
Optical wafer probing
Synchrotron & beamline sample manipulation
Better Motion. Better Control.
The iHXA4 hexapod drive delivers better motion control to automation system developers, machine builders and OEMs. Its efficient design is a perfect fit for contoured multi-axis motion control and point-to-point applications. The embedded iSMC motion controller can control up to 12 axes of motion, including onboard axes and those extended over the HyperWire motion bus. Contoured applications such as making precision optical and photonic alignments, advanced packaging, and sample manipulation in synchrotron and beamline applications, are all possible with the iHXA4.
