Working space
Dependence of diameter on the working height:
• The more working space required, the smaller its diameter
• The possible working space is described using the diameter and
the height of cylinders, the actual working space is larger and
corresponds to a three-sided pyramid
Diameter of the cylindrical working space at a work-
ing height = 100 mm

Function
The tripod with robotic functionality has four translational and one
rotational degree of freedom for path and positioning applications
in space, with additional position control. The tripod’s range of
movement is characterised by the pyramid-shaped arrangement of
3 standard linear drives. The front panel is connected to the drives
by parallel glass-fibre-reinforced plastic rods, which reduce the mov-
ing mass to a minimum. The driving force can almost be used entire-
ly for the introduction of dynamic response. Vibrations are simultane-
ously minimised.
Optional front unit
The high-performance and extremely precise rotary drive which is
mounted on the front panel completes the tripod as a 4-axis system.
