Parallel Machine Tool

Workspaces of two plane-symmetry parallel machine tools whose limbs are composed of the revolute joint, the prismatic joint and the spherical joint were studied comparatively in this paper. Firstly, manipulators of the plane-symmetry 3-RPS parallel machine tool and the plane-symmetry 3-SPR parallel machine tool were introduced, and their simulation manipulators were given. Secondly, the workspaces of the plane-symmetry 3-RPS parallel machine tool and the plane-symmetry 3-SPR parallel machine tool were solved and expressed in the same figure on the basis of the computer aided geometric technique method, respectively. Lastly, indices measuring the workspace were defined, and workspaces of the plane-symmetry 3-RPS parallel machine tool and the plane-symmetry 3-SPR parallel machine tool were analyzed comparatively from two aspects: positional workspace and posture angle.

In machining processes, contouring accuracy is usually more important than tracking performance. In order to reduce the contour error, there have been many contour control algorithms for conventional machine tools, which noticeably improve their contouring accuracy. However, the available contour control algorithms cannot be directly applied to the parallel machine tools. The dynamic characteristics of the parallel machine tools are not consistent inside workspace and unsymmetrical disturbances can be imposed on any axis. Due to these, mismatched dynamics cause unwanted contour error. In this paper, we present a contour control algorithm for the cubic parallel machine tool that employs the parallel mechanism for its moving table, which can be also applied to a general parallel manipulator. The contour error estimation method for free-formed curve trajectory is proposed and the relation between the contour error vectors in joint and Cartesian spaces is considered. In order to show the validity of the algorithm, the contour control simulations and experiments are made for various contour trajectories with the cubic parallel machine tool. The results show that the proposed controller reduces the contour error considerably both in joint and Cartesian spaces.

On one hand, parallel machine tool enjoys many advantages over conventional serial counterpart, on the other hand, it also suffers from the disadvantages of coupled position and orientation, difficulty in kinematic modeling, strict requirements for components and difficulty in manufacturing of the spherical joint adopted in some limbs. Hybrid mechanism, however, will serve the turn in some cases. By using a three degree-of-freedoms parallel mechanism and a slide worktable which will fulfill one movement, a novel four degree-of-freedoms hybrid machine tool is put forward. The kinematic solutions are analyzed and closed-form kinematic solutions are given. The methods and theories adopted here can be used for design of other types of hybrid machine tools.

In order to solve the problems that traditional kinematics model built by the method of D-H parameters can only reflect relative movements between adjacent components and can't express directly the spatial poses of every component relative to static platform, Lie-algebras is used this paper to establish the product of exponential formula of forward direct kinematics of every branch chains. The elimination method and Paden - kahan sub-problems are used to calculate joint variables. Then the quick and intuitive inverse algorithm of cross rods parallel machine tools is acquired. The algorithm provides reliable proofs for the analysis of error compensation, kinematics interference and singularity. Finally we prove our theory with an example of an actual parallel machine tool.
