STEWART PLATFORM PRO

Precision hexapod positioner system, used for

industrial parallel robotics applications and
research projects.

OVERVIEW
ACROME Stewart Pro Platform is used in precision positioning applications thanks to the high sensitivity of linear
actuators, gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer. It is suitable to use in applications such as aerospace research,
unmanned vehicle test systems, professional photography applications, drone landing system’s validation and
verification, IMU/INS test setups.

READY-TO-USE SOFTWARE
Stewart Pro Platform comes with a ready-to-run
software with an easy to use graphical user interface
(GUI). Interface contains all the primary controls, and
also a scripting page to enter custom motion paths.

System also has an Application Programming

Interface (API) to call from any programming
language and operating system.

For research applications, source-code is available in

NI LabVIEW for low-level changes to software.

EFFICIENCY ON MOVEMENT
Every joint of the Stewart Pro platform is independently
controllable with the modifiable open-source software
and users can understand the effects of different
controller types on the system. With a simple and clear
user interface and extensive documentation, users have
the opportunity to learn essential aspects of robotics and
easily cover controller design concepts.
