چکیده

An analysis tool is presented to design extension mechanisms that will enhance the motion capability of delta robots by means of enabling additional, rotational degrees of freedom. For this purpose, a tool is shown that is based on a task-oriented decision analysis process for designing such extension mechanisms. This is necessary, since assembly processes have significant effects on the required functionality of the production device. The variety of drive concepts is just one example that has to be considered due to specific kinematics and dynamics which result from additional masses of the power train for each degree of freedom. To counter these issues, general task-oriented system requirements are initially defined. Thereafter, available industrial robots are analyzed to derive deficiencies so that possible design concepts could be worked out. Based on these findings, the framework of the implemented decision process is addressed, that is an analytic hierarchy process, along with exemplary decision criteria to decide in favor of a beneficial overall design. The last component includes the final design process of the extension mechanism where a sensitivity analysis is used for the optimization of the dynamics. Finally, possibilities for future developments are identified to enhance the benefit of the analysis tool. Underlying mathematical calculations are not subject of this

An Efficient Algorithm for Workspace Generation of Delta Robot

Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...

A Hybrid Neural Network Approach for Kinematic Modeling of a Novel 6-UPS Parallel Human-Like Mastication Robot

Introduction we aimed to introduce a 6-universal-prismatic-spherical (UPS) parallel mechanism for the human jaw motion and theoretically evaluate its kinematic problem. We proposed a strategy to provide a fast and accurate solution to the kinematic problem. The proposed strategy could accelerate the process of solution-finding for the direct kinematic problem by reducing the number of required ...

Vehicle Suspension Inspection by Stewart Robot

The suspension system of a vehicle is one of the most important parts which is involved in the process of vehicle designing. When a vehicle suspension system is designed, the evaluation of its performance against the road disturbances such as shocks and bumps are very important. The most commonly used systems consist of four hydraulic Jacks with mobility in vertical line with low speed and l...

Using the Matrix Method to Compute the Degrees of Freedom of Mechanisms

In this paper, some definitions and traditional formulas for calculating the mobility of mechanisms are represented, e.g. Grubler formula, Somov - Malyshev formula, and Buchsbaum - Freudenstei. It is discussed that there are certain cases in which they are too ambiguous and incorrect to use. However, a matrix method is suggested based on the rank of the Jacobian of the mechanism and its applica...
