Warnings
W
ARNING
The motion of objects of all types carries potential risks for operators. Ensure the protection of operators by prohibiting access to the dangerous area and by informing the personnel of the potential risks involved.
WA RN IN G
Do not use this Hexapod when struts are emitting smoke or is unusually hot to the touch or are emitting any unusual odor or noise or is in any other abnormal state.
Stop using the Hexapod immediately, switch off struts power and then disconnect the HXP controller from power supply.
After checking that smoke is no longer being emitted contact your Newport service facility and request repairs. Never attempt to repair the Hexapod yourself as this can be dangerous.
WA RN IN G
Make sure that this Hexapod is not exposed to moisture and that liquid does not get into the Hexapod.
Nevertheless, if any liquid has entered the Hexapod, switch off struts power and then disconnect the HXP controller from power supply.
Contact your Newport service facility and request repairs.
WA RN IN G
Do not insert or drop objects into this Hexapod, this may cause an electric shock, or lock the drive.
Do not use this Hexapod if any foreign objects have entered the Hexapod. Switch off struts power and then disconnect the HXP controller from power supply.
Contact your Newport service facility for repairs.
WA RN IN G
Do not place this Hexapod in unstable locations such as on a wobbly table or sloping surface, where it may fall or tip over and cause injury.
If this Hexapod has been dropped or the case has been damaged, switch off struts power and then disconnect the HXP controller from power supply.
Contact your Newport service facility and request repairs.
WA RN IN G
Do not attempt to modify this Hexapod; this may cause an electric shock or downgrade its performance.

2.0 —Description
The HXP100P-MECA 6-Axis Hexapod is a parallel kinematic motion device t
hat provides six degrees of freedom: X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw. The HXP100 has long travel capability and is an effective solution to complex motion applications that demand accuracy in up to six independent axes. Contrary to the image of being complex and highly priced, the HXP100P-MECA hexapod is not only affordable but extremely easy to use. T
he HXP100P-MECA design also includes two programmable pivot points, enabling more flexibility to align a sample at a particular point or points of that sample. The HXP100P-MECA Series also takes advantage of the RightPath™ trajectory capability, enabling scanning in a path along a defined trajectory, line, arc or rotation, at a constant and definable speed with low-runout.
Derived from the HXP50-MECA, the HXP100P-MECA is driven by six DC servo motor actuators with encoder feedback at the leadscrew nut, providing precise MIM, low backlash and fast speed. The quality of the actuators has obviously a strong impact on the overall motion performance of the HXP100P-MECA, but of equal importance are the joints with which the actuators are attached to the base and the moving top plate. With size and rigidity in mind, our engineers came up with innovative spherical joints that are not only very simple, but also enhance the stiffness of the hexapod.
To further ensure positioning performance, the High Accuracy (HA) HXP100PHA-MECA is available with guaranteed accuracy values. This enables the use of a Newport Hexapod in positioning applications, where position accuracy is required. In addition to accuracy along an axis, the Pitch and Yaw deviations during axial motion are also monitored and guaranteed. When the HA Hexapod is used with RightPath
, this combination achieves positioning performance close to standard Newport stages.
The HXP100P-ELEC and HXP100PHA-ELEC provide advanced features including instrument grade I/O's, hardware based input triggers, event triggers, high-speed on-the-fly data acquisition, fast TCP/IP communication, and integrated TCL programming language for on-board processes. All these features improve accuracy and throughput, making the programmer’s life much easier. Order the hexapod with the corresponding controller.
A common requirement for many Hexapod motion applications is a virtual pivot point, allowing the user to freely choose the point in space that is a pivot point for all rotations. The Newport Hexapod can not only relocate the pivot point, but through our advanced technology, the entire coordinate system can be relocated. In addition, two user-definable coordinate systems are provided, called tool (moves with the Hexapod) and work (stationary coordinate systems). Incremental displacements are possible in either one of these systems in user-friendly Cartesian coordinates, and positions can be easily calculated from one system to the other by a function call, without the need for complex external coordinate transformations.

WORK
CARRIAGE
TOOL
BASEBASEBASE
Absolute moves and positions are defined in the work coordinate system. Incremental moves can be done in the tool or in the work coordinate systems.
As a standard feature, the HXP100P-ELEC and HXP100PHA-ELEC controllers allow the user to choose a virtual pivot point in space for all rotations.

HXP100P-MECA & HXP100PHA-MECA 6-Axis-Parallel Kinematic Positioning Systems
Each hexapod (HA and non HA versions) is delivered with a dedicated controller. It is particularly important for the HXP100PHA-MECA hexapod to verify that it is connected to the appropriate HXP100PHA-ELEC as the controller includes the calibration performed on the hexapod (the Hexapod is linked with its own controller through its S/N).

ossible injury. Read the controller user’s manual carefully before operating the instrument and pay attention to all written warnings and cautions.
WA RN IN G
Disconnect the power plug under the following circumstances:
• If the power cord or any attached cables are frayed or damaged in
any way.
• If the power plug is damaged in any way.
• If the unit is exposed to rain, excessive moisture, or liquids are spilled
on the unit.
• If the unit has been dropped or the case is damaged.
• If you suspect service or repair is required.
• Whenever you clean the electronics unit.

• Do not expose the unit to excessive moisture (85% humidity).
• Read this manual before using the unit for the first time.
WA RN IN G
All attachment plug receptacles in the vicinity of this unit are to be of the grounding type and properly polarized.
Contact your electrician to check your receptacles.
WA RN IN G
This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug.
Any interruption of the grounding connection can create an electric shock hazard.
If you are unable to insert the plug into your wall plug receptacle, contact your electrician to perform the necessary alterations to ensure that the green (green-yellow) wire is attached to ear th ground.
WA RN IN G

4.2 Connection
WARNING
A
lways turn the controller's power OFF before connecting to a strut.
Anytime prior to power-up, each strut must be connected with the supplied cables to the corresponding 2 plugs located at the rear panel of t
he HXP100P-ELEC controller. The SUB-D25 cable must be connected to the plug labeled “MOTOR”, the SUB-D15 cable to the plug labeled “ENCODER”.
WARNING
Each Hexapod strut label corresponds to the axis number of its controller. This label is also indicated on connectors of the strut.

HXP100P-MECA & HXP100PHA-MECA 6-Axis-Parallel Kinematic Positioning Systems
4.3 Cables
Each Hexapod is equipped with cables terminated with SUB-D25M c
onnectors and can be directly connected to its controller.
CAUTION
Numbering of axes is important for strut connections. A mismatch will c
ause fatal errors during initialization.
NOTE
On each connector, a sticker indicates the home preset and backlash on the SUB-D25M connector, and the resolution on the SUB-D15M connector.
These parameters have to be set into the controller for each strut. This is done at our factory when the Hexapod is ordered with its own HXP100P-ELEC or HXP100P-ELEC controller.
WARNING
These Hexapods must be grounded via a threaded hole to avoid electrical disturbances generated by ground loops.
WA RN IN G
These cables are shielded correctly. For a correct operation, make sure to lock connectors (ground continuity provided by the cable).
WA RN IN G
Keep the motor cables at a safe distance from other electrical cables in your environment to avoid potential cross talk.
