FCS Control Systems originated in the late 70's by applying Fokker's aircraft expertise in challenging ground-based control systems. Our first product line was control loading equipment used in flight simulators to replicate the forces which act on the pilot's controls. After having revolutionized the simulation industry with our patented force-loop technology, we are still the market leader in this field, having supplied hundreds of systems worldwide.
FCS Robotics is a division of FCS Control Systems, and entered the field of force-controlled medical equipment in 1997. The products of the FCS Robotics division are centered around our flagship, the Haptic Master, which is a force controlled robot arm that can be given an arbitrary dynamic behavior. By measuring the actual force at the end effector, and applying state of the art technology a high haptic performance is obtained.
