Motion platform systems

A motion platform is the machine under the simulator: it takes a motion cue — a wave, a braking event, a seismic record — and reproduces it as physical movement. This line covers five platforms. The YT-6DOF motion simulator is the flagship six-axis base in 800 kg and 2,000 kg Pro versions. The 6 DOF rotational platform emphasises composite rotation for attitude simulation. The 3 DOF motion platform covers the many tasks that only need heave, pitch and roll, at a published hardware cost more than 50% below a six-axis system. The vibration test table is built for test duty rather than ride duty, and the 3-axis motion platform is a linear positioning stage for machining, dispensing and optical calibration work.

Accuracy is a published figure, not a slogan

Each platform page carries its recorded accuracy: repeatability of +/-0.02 mm on the YT-6DOF, +/-0.005 mm on the 3-axis positioning platform, and dynamic response delay published per model — under 5 ms on the 6-DOF rotational platform, under 10 ms on the 3-DOF platform and the vibration test table. Drive options span servo electric, hydraulic and electromagnetic, and the right choice follows load and frequency — our vibration testing guide and the 3-DOF vs 6-DOF comparison lay out the trade-offs before you fix a specification.

Platforms inside complete simulators

Most buyers meet these bases inside the simulator line — racing, flight, marine and training systems — but the platforms are also supplied bare, with EtherCAT/Modbus or custom industrial protocol interfaces, for integrators building their own cabins and test rigs. Send your payload, motion envelope and interface requirements and ask about the configuration for your project.
