The HEXaDRIVE® family is built around one fundamental task: generating controlled, reproducible motion for testing, research, and simulation. Simtec configures electric or hydraulic 6-DOF motion systems using classic hexapod or suspended architectures. Motion profiles can be defined for specific test and simulation tasks or derived from real-world data, allowing complex movement to be recreated under controlled conditions.
Review our successfully deployed test rigs at global OEMs and research labs validating tomorrow’s technologies under strict laboratory control.
As a premier global test rig manufacturer, Simtec Systems delivers high-fidelity motion simulation environments that redefine modern laboratory validation pipelines completely. Our specialized 6DOF platforms, widely recognized under the HEXaDRIVE® brand, function as an advanced motion simulator matrix capable of replicating complex physical forces with micro-precise accuracy. This comprehensive multi-axis fidelity is critical for a vast spectrum of industrial sectors and university R&D laboratories verifying structural durability under cyclic load profiles.
Every system configuration is engineered to execute highly realistic, repeatable dynamic trajectories, allowing operators to safely isolate structural component fatigue, transit damage patterns, or dynamic fluid sloshing behavior in a completely controlled environment.
By combining robust German hydraulics with deterministic PC-based control logic, Simtec provides an authoritative testing asset that accelerates industrial innovation while keeping your validation data entirely traceable for strict regulatory compliance audits globally.
To ensure future-proof operational flexibility, every HEXaDRIVE® motion simulator architecture follows a strictly modular design logic. This allows engineering teams to seamlessly upgrade standard platforms with advanced auxiliary systems, custom load interfaces, or certified ATEX explosion-proofing for hazardous fuel and hydrogen testing environments safely.
Furthermore, our systems effortlessly combine with a double-shell carbon-fiber environmental simulation dome, superimposing rapid temperature gradients and altitude pressure drops directly over ongoing kinetic profiles.
Simtec delivers the complete turnkey lifecycle package under strict quality management guidelines, ensuring your high-precision laboratory installation provides maximum availability and structural lifetime reliability for over twenty years of continuous service.
