Abstract Robot type machine tools with parallel link mechanism are characterized by the performance to change tool posture and machine wider range than conventional machine tools. It is realized by simultaneous multi-axis control of parallel link mechanism. However, there are some problems, it is difficult to identify and adjust alignment error. In addition, the machining performance is unidentified due to the rigidity is different from conventional machine tools. In this research, a geometric model is described and the forward kinematics model is derived based on the geometric model. Then, the machining tests were carried out to evaluate the machining accuracy by measured machined surface and the simulated motion of tool cutting edge based on proposed forward kinematics model.

Robot-type machine tools are characterized by the ability to change the tool posture and machine itself with a wider motion range than conventional machine tools. The motion of the robot machine tool is realized by simultaneous multi-axis control of link mechanisms. However, when the robot machine tool performs a general milling process, some problems that affect the machining accuracy occur. Moreover, it is difficult to identify the motion errors of each axis, which influence machining accuracy. Thus, it is difficult to adjust the servo gain and alignment error. In addition, the machining performance is unidentified because of the rigidity differences when the posture changes. In this study, the focus was on robot-type machine tools consisting of a serial and a parallel link mechanism. A geometric model is described, and the forward kinematics model is derived based on the geometric model. Machining tests were then carried out to evaluate the machining accuracy by measuring the machined surfaces and the simulated motion of the tool posture based on the proposed forward kinematics model to identify the mechanism that affects the machined surface roughness and surface waviness. As a result, it was shown that the proposed model can separate and reproduce the behavior of each axis of the machine. Finally, it was clarified that the behavior of the second axis has a great influence on the tool posture and machined surface.

Complex Trajectory

The paper mainly analyzed the robot kinematics of the line heating plate. In order to realize the moving of complex trajectory for the robot, a forward kinematics modeling and the simulation of inverse kinematics are carried out. Firstly, with the D-H modeling method, the line heating plate robot forward kinematics equations and the spatial geometric model of the manipulator are set up, then multi-input multi-output systems based on support vector machines algorithm is used to establish the inverse kinematics model for the robot . At last, the simulations of tracing complex trajectory with the inverse kinematics model are carried out, and the results show that the model derived by SVM can trace the trajectory very well.

This paper proposes a calibration method for a parallel mechanism type machine tool (XMINI, Exechon Enterprises L.L.C.). In this method, the kinematic parameters are calculated using forward kinematics and the least squares method from the results obtained by a coordinate measuring machine. By using an articulated arm coordinate measuring machine (AACMM), we can measure a wide space, and the measuring machine position do not have to be determined strictly. This paper provides a solution for the forward kinematics problem to identify the kinematic parameters. The results from the kinematic parameter calculation are evaluated using the experimental results from an actual machine.

Based on the characteristics and the common massage manipulations of Chinese medical massage, a practical series mechanical arm was presented to act the manipulations with the parallel executive mechanism. Forward kinematics was solved by the Denavit-Hartenberg transformation after the kinematics model of the arm was established. And the three-dimensional model of the arm was created by Pro/E and was imported into ADAMS for the kinematics analysis. The results indicated that the common massage manipulations could be simulated by the arm correctly and flexibly, and it verified the accuracy of the mechanism design of the arm.

Reconfigurable Machining

Abstract In order to respond quickly to changes in market demands and the resulting product design changes, machine tool manufacturers must reduce the machine tool design lead time and machine set-up time. Reconfigurable Machine Tools (RMTs), assembled from machine modules such as spindles, slides and worktables are designed to be easily reconfigured to accommodate new machining requirements. The essential characteristics of RMTs are modularity, flexibility, convertibility and cost effectiveness. The goal of Reconfigurable Machining Systems (RMSs), composed of RMTs and other types of machines, is to provide exactly the capacity and functionality, exactly when needed. The scope of RMSs design includes mechanical hardware, control systems, process planning and tooling. One of the key challenges in the mechanical design of reconfigurable machine tools is to achieve the desired machining accuracy in all intended machine configurations. To meet this challenge we propose (a) to distribute the total number of degrees of freedom between the work-support and the tool and (b) employ parallely-actuated mechanisms for stiffness and ease of reconfigurability. In this paper we present a novel parallely-actuated work-support module as a part of an RMT. Following a brief summary of a few parallel mechanisms used in machine tool applications, this paper presents a three-degree-of-freedom work-support module designed to meet the machining requirements of specific features on a family of automotive cylinder heads. Inverse kinematics, dynamic and finite element analysis are performed to verify the performance criteria such as workspace envelope and rigidity. A prototype of the proposed module is also presented.
