Small Motion Platforms
SANLAB small motion platforms utilize high precision hexapod stewart architecture to deliver full 6DOF performance for mission critical testing and simulation. Engineered for extreme versatility, these high fidelity systems are optimized for camera tracking, radar, and antenna testing, as well as complex stabilization and electro optical system evaluation.
Supporting payloads from 50 kg to 200 kg, our small motion platforms provide the responsive control required for advanced flight simulators, laboratory research, and professional rotator testing where space efficiency and pinpoint accuracy are paramount.
Ruggedized Solutions: Outdoor Motion Platform Options
For projects requiring deployment in challenging environmental conditions, SANLAB provides a dedicated range of outdoor motion platform solutions that offer the same high fidelity 6DOF performance as our standard series but with enhanced environmental protection. These ruggedized systems are engineered with an IP66 rating, ensuring high resistance to both water and dust, which is critical for field based camera tracking, radar, and antenna testing.
Designed to maintain mission critical accuracy in extreme climates, these platforms operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C and can withstand storage conditions from -30°C to +60°C. By retaining all performance specifications including surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, and yaw capabilities our outdoor motion platforms deliver a stable and durable foundation for authentic field scenario replication and professional stabilization testing under harsh external conditions.
