One of those cnc videos you just have to watch

Main reason for that kind of setup is to get 5 axis movement with only 3 motors.
I have seen videos of big machines using this kind of setup, as when done right it works well.

The motion control is out there. I know there was a 6 support version done using a KFlop by some university, as it came up on the dynomotion support group a while ago.

If executed properly the hexapod design is excellent for making a strong '5-axis' machine with minimal material, since the frame is based on triangles so inherently strong.

Yeah, just use Linuxcnc:



It's a very tempting project...

Just to be clear.!! . . . I wasn't calling Hexapods Bling or weak I was calling THIS ONE Blingy and Weak. Personaly I think Hexapods are awesome and the speed they can work at is unreal.!
