The increased accuracy in high-speed positioning of the parallel robot effector in comparison with that of serial robots with a sequential structure is often the main reason for their use in various modern industries, such as the manufacture of printed circuit boards for microelectronics. However, despite the higher theoretical positioning accuracy, due to the kinematic structure of the parallel robot, in practice this characteristic largely depends on the accuracy of manufacturing individual elements of this mechanism, the most important of which are the gearboxes of the drives of its input pairs. A solution to the urgent problem of determining the effect of the manufacturing accuracy of planetary pinion gearboxes included in the drive of a five-link parallel robot on the positioning accuracy of its output link is proposed. A specific relationship has been determined between the grade of accuracy number of the gear part dimensions and the robot positioning accuracy. The unevenness of the positioning accuracy along the coordinate axes of its working area is revealed. It was found that near the area of certain robot positions the accuracy of its positioning drops sharply.
