2 DOF MOTION PLATFORMS PROVIDE PITCH AND ROLL ROTATIONS

A 2DOF (degree of freedom) motion platform is a sophisticated system that simulates two distinct movements, typically pitch and roll. The platform is engineered to replicate the motions experienced by an object or vehicle in these two directions, creating an immersive simulation experience.

It’s important to note that this description of 2DOF motion platforms specifically pertains to pitch and roll. For other combinations of motion axes, we offer custom solutions tailored to meet your specific needs. Please visit our custom applications page for more information

Our 2DOF motion platforms consist of a base (upper platform) that is mounted on motors, which are used to control the movements of the platform. The motors are controlled by a motion controller, which receives signals from the control system (computer) to generate the desired motion.

OUR 2DOF MOTION PLATFORMS BOAST THE SAME OUTSTANDING QUALITY AND TECHNOLOGY AS OUR MORE ADVANCED 3DOF AND 6DOF OPTIONS

MFS TAKES PRIDE IN DELIVERING THE HIGHEST QUALITY PRODUCTS AND THAT COMITMENT EXTENDS TO OUR ENTRY-LEVEL 2DOF MFS SYSTEMS.

WITH NO COMPROMISES MADE, THESE MOTION SYSTEMS ARE BUILT TO LAST WITH MINIMAL MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. DESPITE BEING THE MOST BASIC MOTION PLATFORM TYPE MFS OFFERS, OUR 2DOF MOTION PLATFORMS BOAST THE SAME OUTSTANDING QUALITY AND TECHNOLOGY AS OUR MORE ADVANCED 3DOF AND 6DOF OPTIONS.

Our 2DOF motion systems are indeed powered with the same quality standards whatever their size. They are the ideal solution for demanding customers looking for a smooth, trouble free system operation with minimal maintenance and operation costs.

Our 2DOF motion platforms are designed for reliable, round-the-clock operation, with no overheating issues. This makes them ideal for use in both the entertainment and industrial sectors.

Overall, a 2DOF motion platform provides a basic level of motion simulation that is well-suited for a wide range of applications and is a cost-effective solution for those who don’t need a more complex system with multiple degrees of freedom.

S 3DOF MOTION PLATFORMS PROVIDE PITCH AND ROLL ROTATIONS AS WELL AS A SEMI HEAVE TRANSLATION

MFS revolutionizes motion platform design with its innovative software and engineering (platform geometry and use of stronger motors), allowing for the simulation of heave with just two motors. Typically, a motion platform that wants to incorporate heave along with pitch and roll movements requires three motors. However, MFS’s unique approach, referred to as SEMI HEAVE, makes it possible to achieve this perception with only two.

Among other optimizations, the S3DOF software features what is known as “high pass emulated heave·, which captures many of the key high frequency “heave” channel cues and injects them into the simulation through the pitch channel. The end result is a 2DOF (S3DOF) motion system which can compete with many 3DOF available on the market at a fraction of the cost : namely, our MFS S3DOF MOTION PLATFORM.

The advantage of this system is its cost-effectiveness, as it is less expensive than a full-fledged 3DOF platform.
