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.

The drive at the center of gravity (DCG) principle has been adopted in computer numerical control (CNC) machines and industrial robots that require heavy-duty and quick feeds. Using this principle requires accurate corrections of positioning errors. Conventional error compensation methods may cause vibrations and unstable control performances due to the delay between compensation and motor motion. This paper proposes a new method to reduce the positioning errors of the dual-driving gantry-type machine tool (DDGTMT), namely, a typical DCG-principle-based machine tool. An error prediction method is proposed to characterize errors online. An algorithm is proposed to quickly and accurately compensate the errors of the DDGTMT. Experiment results verify that the non-delay error compensation method proposed in this paper can effectively improve the accuracy of the DDGTMT.

Ankle And Foot

The number of physically disabled people in need of rehabilitation is increasing. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of physical therapists specializing in such rehabilitation. This has increased the demand for rehabilitation assist devices that can lessen the burden of physical therapists. In this study, the authors develop a device that can assist in the rehabilitation of the ankle joint by employing a Stewart-platform (SP)-type parallel-link mechanism. With the SP-type parallel-link mechanism, it is possible to measure and control six degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) of ankle-foot movement during rehabilitation. Because the device enables the measurements of the ankle and foot, it is possible to calculate the instantaneous center of the ankle joint. In previous studies, the authors proposed methods to calculate and control the posture of the ankle and foot by an SP-type parallel-link mechanism and verified their accuracy. In this paper, the authors propose a method for force control using the device and also verify its accuracy. Using this device, the force acting on the ankle-foot can be controlled by six air cylinders. The force produced by a single air cylinder is determined by controlling the pressures in the extension and retraction directions. The accuracy of the force control method is verified for a single air cylinder and for the assist device when all six air cylinders are engaged. Results show that the accuracy of the single air cylinder has a mean square error of 0.24 N or less, while those for force control of the entire device are 4.2 N or less for parallel translation and 3.2 Nm or less for rotation. This demonstrates a satisfactory accuracy. To incorporate rehabilitation assistance by means of stiffness or viscous damping in the future, the authors also propose methods to control the coefficients of stiffness and viscous damping of the air cylinder and verify their accuracy. The mean square errors for the accuracies in controlling the coefficients of stiffness and viscous damping are 3.4 N/m and 1.4 Ns/m, respectively, thus verifying the validity of the proposed methods.
