Precise 6D motion control with highly developed digital controllers

Precise 6D motion control with highly developed digital controllers

Hexapods from PI (Physik Instrumente) are indispensable for high-precision positioning in six axes. The parallel-kinematics Hexapods are offered as a system including a powerful digital controller and comprehensive software support.

Each Hexapod is now available in a package with a new compact controller (255 x 226 x 185 mm) that provides the full functionality at a lower system price.

The Hexapod continues to be available with the previous 19-inch rack unit controller, which now offers the control of two further individual servo axes as a standard feature. Additional piezo systems as well as optical or analog inputs can be connected here as an option.

At the same time, the controller firmware has been revised and the trajectory control improved further. As a new feature, a comprehensive data recorder is now available that records operating variables such as motor control, velocity or position in real time. Macros can be stored directly in the controller and thereby support stand-alone operation even without a connected PC.

Commands are transmitted via TCP/IP Ethernet or serially via an RS 232 interface. Well-known and proven features such as the pivot point that can be defined freely in space via software commands and the convenient control in Cartesian coordinates are of course still available.

Well-known for the high quality of its products, PI has been one of the leading players in the global market for precision positioning technology for many years. PI has been developing and manufacturing standard and OEM products with piezo or motor drives for 40 years now. With four German factories and ten subsidiaries and sales offices abroad, the PI group is represented internationally.

Metolachlor Market 2023 Precise Outlook
Metolachlor is an organic compound typically used as herbicide for controlling certain broad leaf weed species and annual grassy weeds. Metolachlor belongs to the family of the chloroacetanilide herbicide chemicals. Weeds deprive the crop plants of essential soil nutrients resulting in their stunted growth. Metolachlor inhibits the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate cyclases, which forms a part of the gibberellin pathway. Metolachlor is primarily applied for controlling broadleaf weed and grass in peanuts,
