Why this model

Three engineering decisions that define this product.

Built for Test Rigs, Not Cockpits

A 6DOF Stewart hexapod sized for cameras, antennas and optical benches, on a light square frame rather than a human cabin.

An R&D or metrology team runs dynamic profiles on a frame tuned for instruments, so the moving mass stays low.

A cabin-sized platform carries excess moving mass that drags out each test cycle and thins lab throughput.

Fast, Repeatable Profiles for Metrology

The highest angular speed in the PS Linear range, on the QS-L1 actuators shared with the 6TL-250.

Profiles run at production speed while holding accuracy, and every run repeats the same way, so a long campaign yields comparable data.

Without that repeatability, a rig trades cycle count for accuracy - and that trade-off resurfaces at acceptance testing and every requalification.

Lab Mains, No Three-Phase

The platform draws 230V single-phase, with no three-phase service needed to commission the rig in a lab.

It installs on existing single-phase supply with no facility power assessment or panel upgrade.

Worth knowing: a three-phase rig waits on a panel upgrade and inspection, idle while facilities schedules the work.

Package & Options

What's in the Box.

Hardware, software and licenses included with every unit - plus the optional add-ons available on this model.

Hardware

  • PS-6TL-150
    A compact six-actuator ball-screw hexapod on QS-L1 actuators - all six axes, crisp direct travel.
  • Driver Box + Power Supply
    A compact driver box and single-phase supply (120 V US / 230 V EU) run the six QS-L1 actuators from a wall outlet - no cabinet or three-phase.
  • Motion-Lock
    A hardware stop switch - press it and motion cuts at once. With no brakes to hold the load, the platform settles to its lowest resting position.
  • Cable Set
    The USB, power and Motion-Lock cables - the platform wires together as delivered.
  • Packing & Handling
    Ships factory-assembled and calibrated in a forklift-ready crate - the integrator unpacks and installs, with no on-site build.

Software & Licenses

  • ForceSeatPM
    Auto-detects 154+ supported games with pre-tuned profiles. Included free, with free software updates.
  • Sim Profiles
    Pre-tuned motion profiles for the popular sims and games, so the first session already feels right.
  • ACE
    The motion cueing engine that turns simulator telemetry into felt acceleration - the sharp onset of a bend or brake on the platform, with sustained forces held by coordinated tilt rather than a crude static roll.
  • VR HeadWay
    VR motion compensation that cancels the platform's own movement from the headset, so the view stays stable and motion sickness stays low. Included free.
  • Docs & 3D Model
    Full documentation and a simplified 3D STP model, plus the EC Declaration of Incorporation (2006/42/EC) for partly completed machinery - the platform is integrated into a final machine on site.
  • 24-Mo Warranty
    A 24-month warranty on the hardware and motion electronics, with free software updates throughout.

Optional Hardware

  • PS-SB230 Cabinet (E-Stop upgrade)
    Optional, with PS-SBR remote and PS-SBEC button - upgrades Motion-Lock control to a full E-Stop chain. The upgrade is to the stop circuit, not the mechanics: with no holding brakes, an E-Stop cuts the drive and the platform settles to its lowest position rather than holding in place - the same as the standard Motion-Lock. The cabinet runs on 230V single-phase mains; for a 120V supply, contact Technical Support.
    3 900

Optional Software and Services

  • ForceSeatMI - Motion SDK
    Motion SDK to drive the platform from custom software on top of ForceSeatPM. Licensed per motion platform, with the key stored on the PC.
    850
  • ForceSeatDI - Direct Interface SDK
    Low-level SDK that drives the hardware directly, without ForceSeatPM - each platform driven independently, on Windows, Linux or Raspberry Pi. Licensed per platform, with the key stored on the motion controller.
    2 750
  • Remote Training (online)
    Six-hour online session - overview, safety, operation, maintenance, ForceSeatPM setup, diagnostics and tuning. Per session.
    1 800
  • VR HeadWay CrossPC
    A paid VR add-on, licensed separately from the base VR HeadWay. One CrossPC license covers exactly two VR users on a shared platform - each seat has its own rendering PC and geometry-correct compensation (for example pilot and copilot). More seats need an additional license.
    1 900
  • Motion Theater
    Plays pre-authored motion with video or group sessions - for theaters, attractions and briefings, not live sim. Per platform.
    1 300
  • More Options
    Profile packs, installation, reports, extended warranty and bespoke development - talk to the Motion Systems team to tailor it.

Deep Dive

How It Works.

TL · Linear Hexapod

Six electric ball-screw linear actuators sit in a Stewart hexapod between the base feet and the upper frame, each carried on upper and lower cardan joints. A servo motor turns a recirculating ball screw, extending and retracting each strut; coordinating all six struts forms the full six axes of motion. The 6TL-150 uses the QS-L1 actuators, the same struts as the 6TL-250.

A light square frame and modest load give the highest angular speed in the PS Linear range, sized for instrumented payloads rather than human cabins. It runs from a single-phase outlet (120 V US / 230 V EU) with no three-phase service, and each actuator's motor encoder reports its extension so every test run repeats the same way.

On command the Motion-Lock cuts drive, and the frame lowers to its lowest position.

Frequently Asked

Questions the team gets first.

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.

Integrate the PS-6TL-150 into the project.

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.
