Products

We design and manufacture motion platform systems for engineering quality driving simulation.

Motion platform

Our patented core design can be adapted to customer needs, but the standard design is sufficient for most  requirements, even demanding ones.

Main features of the design include:

• Full 6 degree of freedom mechanism
• Surge axis can be specified up to 11m length!
• High mobility - large excursions on all axes offer plenty of scope for realistic motion cueing
• Compact design with extremely low payload platform height - suitable for installation with standard height office ceilings
• Low platform mass - gives reduced floor loading demands
• High acceleration, velocity and stroke capability - efficient design gives improved dynamic performance
• Immersive graphics environment available with multiple projectors and wrap-around screen
• High quality electric servomotors actuators and motion parts are used throughout

Motion cueing

Advance motorsport-oriented motion cueing software provided with each system - plug and play with industry leading driving simulations.

Driving environment

For an optimal motorsport driving environment the platform can accommodate a single seater or sports prototype monocoque. This allows an exact replica of the driving environment to be used, with a perfect seating position and the correct controls.

Alternate cockpit designs can also be accommodated, in particular offering standard road car seating positions, with the option to mount model-specific seats, and dashboard/displays.

Visual cueing

An optional immersive graphics solution has been designed in to the platform. This gives wrap around vision with three projectors tracking the payload's movements. Aspects of this solution are patented.

The standard dynamic screen is available in two geometries, suitable for single seater/sports prototype seating positions, or for road car seating positions.

The platform can also be specified without a dynamically mounted screen, in which case a static screen and projectors would be used.

Steering cueing

A servomotor to provide steer torque cueing can be added to the core package. This can be included neatly into the existing motor drive/controller solution and enclosure. The driving simulation software provides the torque demand signal which is handled by our motion controller. This allows overall machine control to be handled by the same robust industrial methods as the other principal axes.
