Under the action of the waves, The ship will move in six directions, which seriously affects the normal operation in the ship. In order to improve the safety of ship operations, equipment is needed to compensate for fluctuations in these six directions. In view of the shortcomings of the existing wave compensation platform, a new type of six degrees of freedom active wave compensation platform is proposed, so that the equipment is as light as possible and the structure design is reasonable to meet the stability of the equipment. Consisting of drive cylinders and sensors, it is possible to simplify the compensation of six degrees of freedom into three compensation systems, and the three compensation systems are interrelated, reducing the compensation effect when the six degrees of freedom of coupling contract. The results show that six degrees of freedom can be compensated by the device, which provides a design reference for the follow-up study.
