CUSTOM SOLUTION FOR YOUR PROJECT

MFS provides a wide catalog of motion systems from 2DOF to 6DOF motion platforms and beyond.

Customization of a motion platform may be necessary when off-the-shelf solutions cannot meet the specific requirements of a simulation or training application, when there are constraints on size or performance, or when the platform needs to be integrated with existing systems.

EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS WHERE A CUSTOM SOLUTION MIGHT BE NEEDED

EXAMPLE OF A CUSTOM DESIGN WHERE AN INFINITE YAW IS REQUIRED – A ROTATING YAW AXIS IS MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE MOTION PLATFORM. IN SOME OTHER CASE, THE WHOLE MOTION PLATFORM CAN BE MOUNTED ON A ROTATING TABLE.

Your ceiling clearance is low
Your room is narrow
Your access to the room is tight
Your anchoring points are precisely defined
You have no way to anchor your motion system to the ground
You need to integrate our system with an existing system or new system
You need a low or high neutral state
You need to move an entire room and thus require a large motion platform
You need a specific combination of motion axis
You need more than a classic 6DOF motion platform
You need infinite YAW
You need to move a very high payload and thus require a large motion platform
You need to move something that is very large
Your payload center of gravity is not centered
You need high accelerations and velocities
You needed higher precision
You need faster response time
You need a custom software and a custom or standard machine
You need to land a drone on our motion platform
Your motion platform needs to put up with dynamic payload (moving objects or people..)
You need to use your motion platform in harsh environment and weather
You need water protection for your motion system
… something else ?

MFS CAN DESIGN AND BUILD A MOTION SYSTEM MEETING YOUR PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

Our team of engineers can design motion systems that suits your exact specifications without weight or size limitation.

Our motion systems are the ideal solution for demanding customers looking for a smooth, trouble free and lasting system operation with minimal maintenance or operation hidden costs.

Once you tell us about your project, our engineers will start working on a concept with programs such as solidworks, autocad, inventor as well as our in house developed softwares.

A FEW EXAMPLES OF CUSTOM PROJECTS

OUR SOLUTION

A 6DOF landing deck

This illustration showcases a custom-designed and built upper platform by our company, This platform was created for a research and development project, where the customer required a 6DOF landing deck to test drone autolanding and takeoff capabilities in various sea states. The platform is used to mimic sea motion, enabling land-based testing that eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming sea trials, with the goal of improving drone technology.

Additionally, the whole system can be anchored on a moving truck, simulating the movement of a boat and providing even more realistic testing conditions. Furthermore, the motion platform can be designed in a foldable way to allow for easy transportation, making it a versatile solution for companies looking to test and improve their drone technology in various locations. The cabin seen on the extension was added for the safety of the operator and is reinforced to withstand an impact from the drone, ensuring that the operator is protected during testing procedures.

By precisely replicating the movements and vibrations of a boat at sea, motion platforms can help counteract the unpredictable motion of the sea and ensure the stability of the drone during landing and takeoff, even in challenging conditions. By effectively cancelling out the motion of the sea, motion platforms provide a safer and more reliable landing and takeoff solution for drones.
