What is a Motion Platform?
movement across one or more of the six degrees of freedom (DoF), which are individually defined as X, Y, Z, θ-X, θ-Y, θ-Z, and often referred to as surge, sway, heave, roll, pitch, and yaw. Objects in a th [...] pre-defined lengths across a single plane. By combining multiple single axis motion devices into X-Y or X-Y-Z systems, objects can subsequently be translated, horizontally or vertically across all three [...] from simple dove-tail mechanisms to linear slides with cross roller bearings.
