Moog FCS has announced that Ferrari has placed an order for the engineering, design, development and deployment of a next-generation driving simulator to be located at Ferrari’s headquarters in Maranello, Italy.
This project involves a dynamic driving simulator featuring a customised motion control solution with combined motion mechanism, control loading system, complete software package, top platform and a dedicated operator workstation.
“It is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate our expertise in motion control and testing systems and develop a new breed of test with our customer,” said Pim van den Dijssel, Market Manager Test Systems, Moog FCS.
“Ferrari selected Moog FCS to provide an integrated flexible motion control and testing system designed to meet specific and demanding requirements.
“Engineering hardware and human-in-the-loop (H2IL) testing solutions in a driving simulator is an area in which we have over 20 years' experience, since Moog FCS pioneered advanced cueing technology. This project will represent another step-change in H2IL testing technology with enhanced fidelity through advanced platform kinematics and optimised motion cues."
The company's Hexapod-based design and incorporation of its servomotors and actuators ensures testing systems can reach higher levels of fidelity, efficiency and longevity.
