Associates’ Corner - Sarnicola Simulation Systems, Inc.

Sarnicola Simulation Systems, Inc. (SSSI) was established on January 1, 1991 for the purpose of designing and fabricating custom motion platforms for industries ranging from flight simulation and entertainment to testing and research. The first patented Motion Platform was designed, fabricated, tested and completed for sale within nine months. Since that time, a growing business of providing Motion Systems and Motion Systems consulting for military, research, entertainment, advertisement, and special effects simulation has contributed to a steady growth. SSSI was incorporated in June of 1997. The business has expanded, and in 2000 moved into their new, custom built facility located at 970 Conklin Road, Conklin, NY.

Service and product lines have continued to expand as customer requests and market demands dictate. What began from providing a Single Custom Motion Platform, has expanded to dozens of custom designed motion systems for customer specific requirements. A major strength of SSSI is its ability and willingness to meet customer requirements in a critical time frame and at a fair price. The market for SSSI services and products is worldwide with customers in: Australia, China, England, Germany, India, Israel, New Zealand, United States, Russia and Turkey; to name a few. The number of systems provided now exceeds over 150 units ranging from complete turn-key installations to units integrated into and with other companies products.

Recent Project Example: Submarine Conning Tower Test Device – Large 30,000 pound payload motion platform for testing Submarine Conning Towers before they are installed in the submarines. This six degree of freedom motion platform having sixty inch stroke actuators effectively simulates the ships motion at varying "Sea States"…from calm to very violent activity. Once inserted into the motion platform, the conning tower electronics locks onto satellite commands to control internal gyros located in the conning tower to maintain ship stability. Essentially the SSSI motion platform replicates the ships motion in real time.

Over the years much of the work has gravitated to Military and Medical applications. Clients such as Boeing, Hughes-Link Training, Lockheed Martin, General Motors, Chrysler Motors, Schulmberger, Simmons-Rockwell, General Dynamics, Motek Medical and the US Government have become part of the customer base.

Most recently SSSI has developed several physical therapy devises based on simulation technology for a variety of health related applications. These range from stability control to response measurement and monitoring along with eye-hand and eye-foot coordination improvement.

SSS looks forward to building upon the knowledge and experience of the dedicated staff, helping you create your next custom motion system. SSSI can and will custom fabricate motion systems to your requirements and specifications. Success is often attributed to a few individuals. In this case, it is achieved through the efforts of many individuals working together. SSSI, assisting the World in Motion.
