ATMX6000  is a product designed and manufactured by ODIUT Automex sp.z o.o.

Motion systems based on Stewart platforms (also known as: parallel robots/manipulators, hexapods) play a fundamental role in top-of-the-range vehicle simulators. The motion system's task is to deliver motion cues during the simulation. This is achieved by an appropriate control of the actuators (linear actuators with ball screws), to ensure a dynamic motion in six degrees of freedom in the moving platform's motion envelope.

 

 

 

ATMX6000 system was awarded International Fair Gold Medal at the TTM Automotive Technology Fair 2014 in Poznan.

 

 

Stewart platforms may be used in numerous applications such as:

  • educational vehicle simulators for initial qualification in accordance to EU directives,
  • civil, military and special task vehicles simulators,
  • civil and military aircraft simulators,
  • race car simulators,
  • entertainment simulators,
  • devices used for testing other equipment (generation of arbitrary trajectories in 6DOF),
  • manipulators in CNC lathe centres,
  • astronomy, for precise and highly robust positioning of measurement and observation equipment.
