A Virtual Prototyping Environment for Parallel Kinematic Machine Analysis and Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Industrial adoption of PKMs may be eased by availability of methodologies and integrated tools able to analyze in a short time PKMs of any architecture, providing the key data needed to design the machine. The proposed Virtual Prototyping Environment for PKM Analysis answers to these requirements, quickly estimating not only the reachable workspace, the Jacobian conditioning, but also the actuators’ effort, internal loads in the mechanical structure and the effects of lumped structural compliances. A description of the developed VPE-PKM, based on a commercial Multibody package, is given. Its effectiveness is shown presenting results obtained by ITIA-CNR during the design of a 3 dof translational PKM for light deburring operations.
