New Compact Robust Hexapod from PI for 24/7 Industrial Operation

AUBURN, Mass., March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The H-815 6-Axis Hexapod is a ruggedized, highly accurate, positioning and alignment system designed for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding industrial motion applications. Engineered as a durable parallel kinematic machine for high-precision alignment tasks, it provides six degrees of freedom (6-DOF) — X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw — delivering exceptional flexibility for applications requiring multi-axis motion with high accuracy.

With a low-profile design (only 155 mm height), a small footprint for a 6-axis system (222 mm baseplate diameter), and a 22lbs load capacity, the sturdy H-815 hexapod seamlessly integrates into production lines while maintaining robust performance, even when mounted in various orientations. Unveiled at SPIE Photonics West 2025, the world’s leading conference on photonics, it is ideal for camera lens alignment (automotive, cell phones etc.), micro-assembly, aerospace test and assembly, Micro-LED production, fiber optic alignment, aerospace test and assembly, and other precision-critical applications.

Experience in High-Precision Engineering is the Basis for Superior Performance
Backed by 35 years of hexapod engineering expertise and five decades of nano-positioning and micro-positioning innovation, PI has equipped the H-815 with industry-leading joints, actuators, and encoders for unmatched motion control performance, reliability, and stability.

Advanced joints for maximum stability: Custom-designed cardanic joints with Z-offset provide superior stiffness over traditional universal joints and spherical joints, ensuring precise, backlash-free motion in any orientation.High-performance actuators: Ball screw actuators minimize friction and enhance durability, outperforming conventional lead-screw designs found in lower-cost hexapods.Absolute encoders: All six actuators feature absolute-measuring encoders, eliminating the need for referencing, reducing startup time, and enhancing overall precision.

Key Features & Benefits

User-friendly software – Command in Cartesian coordinates, user programmable pivot point, tool, and work coordinate systems, hexapod simulation software.Compact & robust – Low-profile footprint enables flexible integration in space-constrained environments.  Designed for easy maintenance.High accuracy – Achieves 0.1µm minimum incremental motion in X, Y, and Z for sub-micron precision alignment tasks.High speed – Reaches velocities up to 20 mm/sec, optimizing throughput in industrial automation.Absolute encoders – No referencing required, minimizing downtime, and streamlining setup.Motor brakes – Automatically engage during power loss for enhanced operational safety.Ball screw drives – Backlash-free with minimum friction, provide improved performance and lifetime compared to lead-screw driven actuators.

Designed for Industrial 24/7 Applications
The H-815 delivers exceptional reliability, speed, and ultra-precise movement for applications in photonics test and assembly, camera lens assembly, Micro LED manufacturing, optics, and metrology. Its combination of precision, flexibility, and durability makes it the ideal solution for modern high-precision alignment tasks.

Firmable breaks into G2’s global top five for momentum in Sales Intelligence

Published

on

By

Firmable earned 17 badges in G2’s Fall 2026 reports and improved its ranking in 28 of the 32 reports it featured in last season, holding its position in the other four.

MELBOURNE, Australia and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Firmable, the AI-native B2B sales platform, has climbed from #8 to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence, which ranks the fastest-rising products in the category worldwide. It also ranked #1 for SMB sales intelligence in both Australia and ANZ and moved into the top 10 across Asia-Pacific.

The results span regional, segment and global reports in both the Sales Intelligence and Lead Intelligence categories. They are based on verified reviews from Firmable customers, alongside G2’s measures of market presence and growth.

Global momentum as Firmable scales in North America

Firmable is now one of the fastest-rising sales intelligence products worldwide. Its jump to #4 on G2’s global Momentum Grid for Sales Intelligence was matched by strong gains in G2’s global satisfaction indexes:

Relationship Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #24Implementation Index for Sales Intelligence: #3, up from #17Results Index for Sales Intelligence: #4, up from #16

The results arrive as Firmable expands across the US and Canada, following its $14 million Series A in March and the launch of the Firmable MCP in July. They were followed by the launch of Tech Intelligence earlier in October.

“G2 rankings come straight from customers, and that’s why these results matter to us,” said Leigh Jasper, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Customers are telling the market three things: Firmable is easy to work with, fast to roll out, and it delivers results. Those scores climbed the most this season. That’s exactly the proof point sales leaders look for when they evaluate a new platform. We built Firmable as an AI-native product from day one, and teams in North America and elsewhere are responding. Breaking into the global top five for momentum is a strong signal of where we’re headed.”

#1 in Australia and in ANZ

Firmable took the top spot for small-business sales intelligence in both of its home markets. It rose from #2 to #1 on G2’s Small-Business Australia Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence, and from #3 to #1 on the Small-Business ANZ Regional Grid. Firmable also held #1 overall in both Australia and ANZ for Lead Intelligence.

“Ranking top in Australia and ANZ and climbing across Asia-Pacific comes down to one thing: our customers are booking more meetings with less effort,” said Paul Perrett, co-founder and co-CEO of Firmable. “Growing sales teams can’t afford to waste a rep’s day on bad data or cold accounts. We give them verified contacts and buying signals that tell them who to call and when. These results show that approach is working for teams in every market we serve. And with the launch of Tech Intelligence last week, we’re not slowing down.”

Top 10 across Asia-Pacific

Firmable moved into the top 10 for small-business sales intelligence across Asia-Pacific. It climbed from #13 to #10 on G2’s Small-Business Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence. It also rose from #14 to #9 on the matching Lead Intelligence grid.

Firmable debuted on G2’s Mid-Market Asia Pacific Regional Grid for Sales Intelligence at #13. That reflects growing adoption among larger revenue teams in the region. On the overall Asia Pacific grid for Sales Intelligence, Firmable moved from #18 to #15.
