On the Boundaries of the Wrench-closure Workspace of Planar Parallel Cable-driven Mechanisms

چکیده
The wrench-closure workspace of parallel cable-driven mechanisms is the set of poses for which any wrench can be produced at the end-effector by a set of a non-negative cable tensions. It is already known that the boundary of the constant-orientation wrench-closure workspace of a planar parallel cable-driven mechanism is composed of segments of conic sections. Howevel; the relationship between the geometry of the mechanism and the types of these conic sections is unknown. This paper proposes a graphical method for determining the types of these conic sections. It is also shown that the proposed method can be applied to jind the constant-orientation singularities of a 3-RPR planar parallel robot, since these contours correspond to the boundary segment of the analogous three-cable driven planar parallel mechanism.

Interval Analysis of Controllable Workspace for Cable Robots
Workspace analysis is one of the most important issues in the robotic parallel manipulator design. However, the unidirectional constraint imposed by cables causes this analysis more challenging in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators. Controllable workspace is one of the general workspace in the cabledriven redundant parallel manipulators due to the dependency on geometry parameter...

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the constant-orientation wrench-closure workspace of planar three-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanisms driven by four cables. The constantorientation wrench-closure workspace is defined as the subset of the plane wherein, for a given orientation of the moving platform, any planar wrench applied on the moving platform can be balanced by the cable-drive...

The wrench-closure workspace of parallel cable-driven mechanisms is the set of poses of their mobile platform for which the cables can balance any external wrench. The determination of this workspace is an important issue since the cables can only pull and not push on the mobile platform. This paper deals with the wrench-closure workspace of six-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) parallel mechanisms driv...
متن کاملAnalytical Solution to Find the Interference Boundaries of Planar Cable-Driven Mechanisms
Cable interference in cable-driven mechanisms (CDM) is a major challenge in their applications. The wrench closure workspace (WCW) in a fully constrained mechanism may not be realized unless cable interference is considered. This paper classifies all possible types of cable interferences for planar cable-driven mechanisms and presents an analytical solution to find the boundaries of the constan...

In this paper, a technique to generate the wrench-closure workspace for general case completely restrained cable driven parallel mechanisms is proposed. Existing methods can be classified as either numerically or analytically based approaches. Numerical techniques exhaustively sample the task space, which can be inaccurate due to discretisation and is computationally expensive. In comparison, a...
