    planning to build robot for inserting screw into bone
    looking for some thing like


    H-820 6-Axis Positioner with Controller
    Hexapod Platforms and Systems
    Parallel-Kinematic Machines of Six Motion Axe
    from PI Germany


    Is there any other cheaper alternative to start the research



    6- Axis Positioner with Controller
    COST- EFFICIENT HEXAPOD
    Standard- class 6- axis positioning system
    Parallel- kinematic design for six degrees of freedom making it significantly more compact and stiff than serialkinematic
    systems, higher dynamic range, no moved cables: Higher reliability, reduced friction
    Direct drive with brushless DC motors (BLDC)
    Indirect measuring principle
    Rotary encoder on motor shaft
    Powerful digital controller, open software architecture
    User- defined, stable pivot point, software- selectable. Positions commanded in Cartesian coordinates. Macro
    programming. Open source LabVIEW driver set. Work space simulation software. Optional interface for PLC
    control
    Fields of Application
    Research and industry. For life science, biotechnology, automation, micromachining

    * The travel ranges of the individual coordinates (X, Y, Z, θX, θY, θZ) are interdependent. The data for each axis in this table shows its maximum
    travel, where all other axes are at their zero positions. If the other linear or rotational coordinates are not zero, the available travel may be less.
