Abstract

See full text

A 6-axis positioning system features a base, a movable unit, and six variable-length actuators divided into two groups of three actuators each. The actuators of the first group are positioned within a region bounded by the second group on both the base and the movable unit. Each end of the actuators is connected via pivot fastening systems, allowing precise movement. Specifically, the first group's actuators can move within an angular range of ±30° relative to a virtual line running perpendicular from the base, while the second group's actuators can move within an angular range of 0° to 45° relative to a plane spanned by the base. This arrangement ensures a compact, precise, and flexible positioning system, ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and load-bearing capacity.
