Three engineering decisions that define this product.
All six axes ride in a low-profile frame, not the tall ball-screw hexapod stack that the same excursion needs on struts alone.
The cockpit drops into low-ceiling and existing rooms a hexapod cannot enter, so the integrator keeps the chosen site.
Tall builds force a harsh trade-off: when headroom runs short, the design loses motion axes or the platform will not fit.
One 550 kg base carries a two-seat cockpit with instruments through every translation and rotation at once.
The training center runs crew scenarios on a single platform, training two people per session instead of one.
Single-seat rigs scale the wrong way, since each added trainee means another base and more floor, lifting capital and running cost.
The platform draws 400V three-phase from a PS-SB400 cabinet, with electromagnetic brakes that clamp on E-STOP or power loss.
Utility cost stays predictable across multi-shift duty, and a power cut holds the loaded two-seat cockpit in place, not drifting down.
A hydraulic alternative trades that away, adding heat exchangers and fluid changes that load the maintenance calendar.

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 rotary actuators in a hexagonal layout sit under the cockpit and move it through all six axes - pitch, roll and heave plus surge, sway and yaw - in a low-profile build, without the height a ball-screw hexapod stack needs. The coordinated actuator travel is what forms the rotations and translations from one short frame.
That geometry carries the 550 kg cockpit and its strong translation acceleration on a footprint that fits low-ceiling sites where a hexapod will not. The platform runs on 400V three-phase from the PS-SB400 cabinet, so utility cost stays predictable across multi-shift duty.
Electromagnetic holding brakes clamp the frame on E-STOP or power loss, keeping the loaded two-seat cockpit in place rather than letting it drift down.

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.
