We design and build machines to perform unique tasks.
This display platform was specially created to demonstrate differences between the Active Seat and standard air suspension seats. It can be used as a marketing aid at trade shows and also as a training aid.
The Active Seat uses air suspension and electro hydraulic technology to minimize vertical motion of the tractor seat. A position sensor and an accelerometer linked to a hydraulic system repositions the seat. This results in a smoother ride for the tractor operator by eliminating 90% of the vertical inputs to the tractor.
This unusual project included working with the client to develop a workable concept and complete engineering design, fabrication, and assembly of the machine. All of this was successfully completed within a 3 month time constraint. Since its completion, the Active Seat display has been exhibited in Australia, Europe, and the U.S.
