Compact-Class Hexapod for Flight and Driving Cockpits
The list price is the full price of the standard unit shown here - net and ex-works. VAT is normally zero on export orders; options, delivery and any duties are confirmed at order.
Three engineering decisions that define this product.
A 250 kg payload carries a single-pilot cockpit on 230V single-phase mains, not a dedicated three-phase supply.
A clinic or training room installs the cockpit on an existing wall outlet, with no electrical project or contractor.
Three-phase platforms instead add weeks of facility prep and a booked electrician ahead of the first run.
A translation-biased envelope reproduces braking and cornering motion as real linear acceleration instead of faking it with angle.
Pilots and drivers feel the linear accelerations they know from the real vehicle, so the trained skill transfers and survives assessment.
A platform short on stroke substitutes tilt for acceleration, a crude motion cue trainees soon learn to ignore.
The same QS-L1 ball-screw actuator runs across this platform, the 6TL-150 and the QS-220, so one part number serves the family.
A multi-rig center stocks one shelf of spares and trains technicians once, keeping every platform serviceable in-house.
Without that commonality, bespoke single-source actuators tie each spare to one supplier and whatever lead time it quotes.

This chart pairs any two motion axes to show how far they reach together, drawn to scale from the platform's measured limits. Drag the marker anywhere in the plot to read exact values and check whether that pose is reachable.
Traced 1:1 from the platform's measured work-envelope plots. The other axes are held at zero.
Powered by ForceSeatPM, with 154+ commercial and entertainment simulators supported out of the box. The ForceSeatMI license, held per motion platform with the key on the PC, adds native SDK access for custom logic in C++, C#, Python, Unity and UE5.

Six electric ball-screw linear actuators stand in a Stewart hexapod between the base feet and the upper frame, each carried on upper and lower cardan joints. Inside each actuator a servo motor turns a recirculating ball screw, so rotation becomes smooth piston travel; coordinating the extension and retraction of all six legs forms every axis, from heave and surge to pitch, roll and yaw.
The 6TL-250 runs the QS-L1 actuators and plugs into a single-phase outlet (120 V US / 230 V EU), so a compact cockpit installs without a three-phase project. Each actuator's motor encoder reports its extension, so a recorded run repeats the same way for assessment and research.
The Motion-Lock cuts drive, and the frame lowers to its lowest position.

Torque3 is building a neurorehabilitation platform where robot-assisted, deeply immersive exercises help the brain rebuild lost movement (neuroplasticity).
Payload, motion envelope, delivery and software integration - answered up front, ahead of the first call.
The team provides mounting references so the platform drops onto an existing rig. On the software side, the Hardware Imitator M10 - a USB box that mirrors the platform's control interface - is available on request with a first platform order that includes a ForceSeatMI or ForceSeatDI license, and it comes with a 6-month SDK license so the software team can validate integration before delivery. Custom integration runs through the ForceSeat SDK with motion profiles set in ForceSeatPM; where a build calls for it, the engineering team handles any platform firmware changes.
Platforms run on the ForceSeat software stack: ForceSeatPM delivers out-of-the-box support for popular simulation titles, and the ForceSeatMI and ForceSeatDI SDKs expose a documented API for custom telemetry in C, C++, C# and Python, plus plugins for Unity and Unreal Engine.
Yes, on three levels. The catalog spans payload classes from compact cockpits to full-cabin builds, so most projects start with the right standard model and a payload reserve. For oversized cockpits and cabins, the motion envelope and dynamics are then matched to the load - in software on every platform, and with adjustable hardware travel limiters on selected higher-payload models. Where the catalog does not fit, a bespoke build scopes payload, envelope and travel. Share the intended payload, its mass and the motion requirements and the team will confirm the right configuration.
Delivery includes installation guidance that specifies the mounting points and the power and electrical setup per model; site preparation, floor requirements and platform anchoring are the integrator's responsibility. Every platform ships factory-tested and arrives ready for integration into the simulator build.
Professional Series platforms are built to order, typically in 6-10 weeks from payment, with the exact schedule confirmed at quote. With the optional Hardware Imitator M10, software integration runs in parallel with production, so go-live is not gated by delivery. The compact Qubic System line is often in stock and typically ships within 1-3 weeks.
Every Professional Series platform ships with a 24-month warranty, extendable by agreement. Spare-parts manufacturing and diagnostic support continue for the operational life of the platform, with SLA options for fleet and training deployments.
One team scopes the build, carries it through integration and commissioning - with integrator partners where a full simulator is the goal - and stays involved once the rig runs in the field.
A dedicated account manager reads the message directly.
The team analyzes feasibility and prepares questions or an initial concept.
Detailed technical proposal with a platform recommendation, transparent pricing, lead time, and integration timeline.
