Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a motion platform and how does it work?
A motion platform is a robotic system that uses high performance actuators to replicate physical movement in various axes. By processing real time data from simulation software, these platforms move to simulate the exact forces and sensations of a vehicle or environment, providing a high fidelity experience for testing and training.
Which motion platform (6DOF, 3DOF, or 2DOF) is right for my project?
The choice depends on the required complexity of movement. 6DOF systems offer total freedom in all directions (surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, yaw) and are ideal for advanced provide three axis movement for dynamic simulation, while 2DOF platforms are engineered for balanced performance and extremely high payload capacities.
What are the main differences between 6DOF and 3DOF platforms?
6DOF (Degrees of Freedom) platforms provide movement in all linear and rotational axes (surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, yaw), while 3DOF platforms typically focus on three specific axes (like pitch, roll, and heave) for simpler simulation needs.
Can SANLAB platforms be customized for specific technical requirements?
Yes, we specialize in tailoring our motion platforms to meet unique project specifications, including custom stroke lengths, velocity requirements, and environmental protection like IP66 for harsh conditions. Every system is designed for seamless integration into existing defense, automotive, or industrial infrastructures.
