The PHANTOM Premium haptic devices provide a broad range of force feedback workspace, range of motion, stiffness, and motor force to accommodate the specific requirements of different research projects. The Premium models 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0 provide 3 degrees of freedom positional sensing and 3 degrees of freedom force feedback. An encoder stylus that may be purchased separately for the 1.0, 1.5, and the 3.0 devices enables the measurement of an additional 3 degrees of positional sensing (pitch, roll & yaw). A PHANTOM Premium 1.5 HF (High Force) device is available, and includes a built-in gear box option that provides higher forces.

The PHANTOM Premium 1.5/6DOF, 1.5 High Force/6DOF and 3.0/6DOF devices allow users to explore application areas that require force feedback in six degrees of freedom (6DOF). Examples include virtual assembly, virtual prototyping, maintenance path planning, teleoperation, and molecular modeling. All Premium models connect to the PC via the parallel port (EPP) interface. Supported OS platforms include Windows® 2000/XP/NT, RedHat® Linux® 7.2, RedHat Linux 9, RedHat Fedora™, and SUSE 9.0.

Supported OS platforms for the Premium models 1.0, 1.5, 1.5/6DOF, and 3.0 include Windows® 2000/XP, RedHat Linux 9, RedHat Fedora™, and SUSE 9.0.

Supported OS platforms for the Premium models 1.5 High Force and 1.5 High Force/6DOF include Windows® 2000 and XP. Support for RedHat Fedora™ and SUSE 9.0 is planned.

Supported OS platforms for the Premium model 3.0/6DOF include Windows® 2000/XP, RedHat Fedora™, and SUSE 9.0
