Topological Synthesis of Translational Parallel Manipulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
For translational parallel manipulators (TPMs), topology synthesis methods that can be found in the literature are mainly based on screw theory, instantaneous kinematics, or group theory. In this work, finite displacement equations are used for the topology synthesis of TPM. Serial chains with less than 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) are first investigated and, topological conditions for them to generate 3D translations while its end-effector (EE) is under a constant orientation constraint are derived. Then the parallel manipulators (PM) composed of these serial chains are analyzed to find out whether and under what conditions the EE will keep a constant orientation throughout a finite workspace.

Singularity-Free Fully-Isotropic Translational Parallel Mechanisms
Parallel mechanisms show desirable characteristics such as a large payload to robot weight ratio, considerable stiffness, low inertia and high dynamic performances. In particular, parallel manipulators with fewer than six degrees of freedom have recently attracted researchers’ attention, as their employ may prove valuable in those applications in which a higher mobility is uncalled-for. The att...

This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of Tricept parallel manipulator. Observing that cuboid workspaces are desirable for most machines, we use the concept of effective inscribed cuboid workspace, which reflects requirements on the workspace shape, volume and quality, simultaneously. The effectiveness of a workspace is characterized by the dexterity of the manip...

متن کاملType synthesis of 3-DOF linear translational parallel manipulators
Three-DOF linear TPMs (translational parallel manipulators) refer to TPMs whose forward displacement analysis can be performed by solving a set of linear equations. Based on the results of the type synthesis of TPMs, the method for the type synthesis of linear TPMs composed of R (revolute) and P (prismatic) joints and the displacement group theory, this paper deals with the type synthesis of li...
متن کاملNumeration and type synthesis of 3-DOF orthogonal translational parallel manipulators
Low-degree-of-freedom (Low-DOF) parallel manipulators (PMs) have drawn extensive interests, particularly in type synthesis in which two main formal approaches were established by using the reciprocal screw system theory and Lie group theory. This paper aims at numeration and type synthesis of orthogonal translational parallel manipulators (OTPMs) by resorting to an integration of the groupbased...
