Workspace Analysis of a Six-Degrees of Freedom, Three- Prismatic-Prismatic-Spheric-Revolute Parallel Manipulator

چکیده
This paper studies the workspace of a six-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator of the general three-PPSR (prismaticprismatic-spheric-revolute) type. It is known that a drawback of parallel manipulators is their limited workspace. To develop parallel mechanisms with a larger workspace is of use to potential applications. The mechanism of a three-PPSR manipulator and its variations are briefly analysed. The workspace is then investigated and the effects of joint limit and limb interference on the workspace shape and size are numerically studied. The constituent regions of the workspace corresponding to different classes of manipulator poses are discussed. It is shown that the workspace of this parallel manipulator is larger than that of a comparable Stewart platform, especially in the vertical direction.

Workspace Analysis of a New Parallel Manipulator
This paper studies the workspace of a six-DC)F parallel manipulator of three-PPSR (prismatic-prismaticspheric-revolute) type. It is well recognized that the most significant drawback of parallel manipulators is their limited workspace. To develop new parallel mechanisms with a larger workspace is of interest to additional applications. The mechanism of the three-PPSR manipulator and its variati...
متن کاملDirect Position Kinematics of a Three Revolute- Prismatic-spherical Parallel Manipulator
In this work, the direct position kinematics of a 3 degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator with three identical limbs, type revolute-prismatic-spherical (RPS), is analyzed. In contrast to the previous studies on this class of manipulators, the revolute joints of the proposed manipulator are actuated rather than the prismatic joints. Direct position kinematics of the manipulator leads to a syste...
متن کاملKinematic analysis and design of a six DOF 3-PRPS in-parallel manipulator
This paper presents a kinematic analysis and design characteristics of an in-parallel manipulator developed for the probing task application that requires high precision, active compliance, and high control bandwidth. The developed manipulator is a class of six-degree-of-freedom in-parallel platforms with 3 PRPS (prismatic-revolute-prismatic-spherical joints) chain geometry. The main advantages...
متن کاملPID-like Fuzzy Logic Control Scheme for Control of a Planar Parallel (3PPR U-base) Manipulator
The paper investigates the control of a three prismatic-prismatic-revolute (3 PPR) U-base planar parallel manipulator in the presence of parameter uncertainties and unknown disturbances. The 3PPR U-base planar parallel manipulator is a motion platform with singularity free workspace (bounded orientation angle θz ≤ ±90 ◦) and has manipulator legs located on the plane in association with a moving...
متن کاملKinematic design of a six degree-of-freedom in-parallel manipulator for probing task
This paper presents a kinematic analysis of a parallel manipulator we have been developing for the probing task application that requires high bandwidth, active compliance, and high precision. Based on the concept of macro/micro manipulators, the parallel manipulator serves as a wrist of a macro manipulator. The developed manipulator is a class of in-parallel platforms with 3 PRPS( prismatic-re...
