Type Public Industry Aerospace, Defense, Industrial Automation, and Motion Control Founded 1995, Amsterdam, NL Headquarters Nieuw-Vennep, NL Key people Pim van den Dijssel, Director Products Hydraulic and Electronic Control Systems Employees 135 Website [1] FCS Control Systems, now known as Moog in the Netherlands BV, after the purchase of FCS by Moog Inc.[1]) develops flight simulation and testing systems for aircraft and cars, using advanced control systems. FCS used to be called Fokker Control Systems B.V, which originally was a daughter company of Fokker, the former Dutch aircraft manufacturer.
Moog in the Netherlands BV develops a wide line of applications, which include:
- High performance motion platforms (hexapod or stewart platform) for flight simulators. They are involved in the development of electric motion systems.[2]
- High performance control loading (Haptic technology) systems for flight simulators
- G-seat (Ejection seat with Haptic technology) systems for jetfighter and helicopter flight simulators
- Test systems for aircraft testing, contributing to Air safety.[3]
- Test systems for automotive testing used for Automotive design and contributing to Automobile safety:
- 4-poster test systems
- Multi Axis Shaker Table test systems, like the[4][5]
- Driving simulators[6][7][8][9]
- Stand alone test controllers for article testing. (PID controller, function generator)
- Digital servo controllers or Digital test controller
- Robotics (Haptic technology) with medical applications
Industrial Controls
For the material test markets, Moog supplies motion controls for automotive, structural and fatigue testing. The company's hydraulic and electromechanical motion simulation bases are used for the flight simulation and training markets.
