Precision Positioning High Payload Hexapod with High Stability
KUBAN is a highly stable, high payload hexapod, expertly engineered to position elements in space with high precision. It boasts an impressive resolution of 1.5 µrad, ensuring exact positioning for demanding applications.
The KUBAN hexapod features high-resolution actuators and precision spherical joints, which collectively enable it to deliver high performance resolution and repeatability. Capable of handling payloads of up to 500 kg, this hexapod is ideal for applications requiring both high precision and substantial load-bearing capacity.
Utilizing the same high-quality actuators as the JORAN hexapod but in a more compact design, the KUBAN high payload hexapod combines performance and efficiency. Its compact configuration does not compromise on its ability to maintain high stability and precision, making it a versatile solution for various high-demand applications.

A high performance control center
Controlling a parallel kinematics mechanism like a hexapod demands rapid and extensive calculations to convert position instructions into motor current set points while ensuring continuous motion security.
To meet this need, every KUBAN hexapod is equipped with a high-performance control rack. This rack integrates seamlessly with our Graphical User Interface (GUI) or, optionally, with your software environment via an Application Programming Interface (API).
A complete and flexible solution
Our control racks are designed with:
- A powerful multi-axis Delta Tau industrial controller
- Drivers tailored to the specific requirements of each application
- Input-output modules that facilitate various interactions with the hexapod environment
Our robust and adaptable controller solutions support different types of motors (DC, brushless, stepper) and are compatible with various encoder technologies (absolute, incremental, linear, rotary). Additionally, our controllers can be paired with an optional hand-held control unit.
Choosing the right hexapod for you
Symetrie offers HexaSym, a free software tool that simplifies the process of evaluating travel ranges and load capacities for each hexapod in their range. HexaSym helps you identify the most suitable hexapod for your application and allows you to experiment with different configurations.

■ Configure repositories (coordinate systems)
■ Configuration of limits (position, speed …)
■ API (Application Programming Interface)
■ To be interfaced in C, LabVIEW, EPICS, SPEC, TANGO, Python, Matlab …
Customization
Symétrie brings extensive knowledge and experience in software development, enabling you to customize their software to meet your specific needs.
HEXASYM Simulator
How to Choose Your Hexapod?
HexaSym, Symetrie’s free simulation software, makes it easy to evaluate the travel ranges and load capacities of each hexapod in their range. HexaSym helps you select the most suitable product for your application and experiment with various configurations.
Testing several parameters
With the HexaSym simulator, you can:
- Test cumulative travel ranges across multiple axes simultaneously, including “worst cases.”
- Adjust the center of rotation and define different reference frames.
- Vary the hexapod’s orientation (vertical, horizontal, other) and payload.
- Utilize 3D visualization to see hexapod movements based on commanded positions.
- Use sliders for immediate movement control.
And for specific hexapods
It is also possible to use HexaSym for Symetrie’s specific hexapods, for which we will provide you with a configuration file compatible with the simulator.
