With efficient mechanical components, Mistral hexapod allows motion generation for up to 1 ton loads with important linear and angular travel ranges (up to ±460 mm in linear travel and ±40° in angular travel).
As a reminder, a hexapod is a platform with a parallel structure that can reproduce movements in 6 degrees of freedom, for testing and calibrating systems, or for simulating dynamic situations.
This hexapod was first designed to realize a heave motion to test boat hulls.
Mistral hexapod can also reproduce the trajectories of land, naval, or air vehicles and thus allows lab testing of sensors, SATCOM antennas, electro-optics systems… that will then be put onboard.
