Abstract
A motion platform that is displaceable along three axes includes first, second and third carriage assemblies. There is an apparatus connected to each of said carriage assemblies for linearly displacing each of the carriages along a single planar axis. Therefore, the first carriage assembly is linearly displaceable along a first plane, the second carriage assembly is linearly displaceable along a second plane that intersects the first plane, and the third carriage assembly is linearly displaceable along a third plane that intersects at least one of the first and second planes. Each of the carriage assemblies is comprised of a circumferential array of frame members that define a substantially planar parallelogram configuration having a substantially open central portion, with the carriage assemblies being arranged in a nested array.
