3DOF Low Cost Systems (3 Degrees of Freedom)

CKAS U2s 3DOF Motion Platform / Motion System

W3s 6DOF Motion System next to standard PC

CKAS Mechatronics has introduced the best compromise small scale personal 3 degree of freedom (3DOF) motion system or motion platform - the U2s, specifically directed at very low cost small scale mid fidelity motion simulator applications, such as commercial simulators, next generation consumer coin-operated arcade entertainment simulators, home built mid fidelity flight simulators or home built mid fidelity racing entertainment simulators

The CKAS U2s 2DOF Motion System features a mere 120kg total weight, 800mm total width, and sits only 300mm high, therefore eliminating the need for any specialised stair or gangway for stepping up onto it. CKAS has used the knowledge it has developed for the heavier motion systems to design this unit, incorporating industry leading electronics, encoders and actuators. The expected life of the U2s is extremely high for its price point, and the maintenance requirements are minimal, especially important in commercial or consumer based applications. The target market of the CKAS U2s 3DOF Motion System can be any of the following single seater applications:

Home Built Mid Fidelity Flight Simulators
Small Scale Compact Mid Fidelity Flight Training Devices for Commercial and Military applications
Small Scale Mid Fidelity Commercial Vehicle and Truck Driver Training Simulators
Small Scale Mid Fidelity Mining Equipment Simulators and Heavy Earth Moving Equipment Simulators
Small Scale Mid Fidelity Train Driver Simulators
Next Generation Unsupervised Coin-operated Motion Simulator Arcade Machines
Home Built Mid Fidelity Car Racing Simulators

As with all our Generation III capable motion systems, the U2s units have real-time Reverse Kinematics, Forward Kinematics and Full featured Washout Cueing Filters all completely "on-board" meaning that any client application can operate these systems at even the "vehicle acceleration" level completely independent of any other software (See Gen III Connectivity Matrix document for more information).
