14: a new parallel mechanism for Scara motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new robot which produces four motions for high speed handling (three translations and one rotation about a given axis in world coordinates). This machine is an evolution of H4’s architecture. Firstly, H4 advantages are recalled, and some limitations are mentioned. To compensate for these limitations a new design of the traveling plate is proposed. A description of the whole mechanism is given. The structure’s ability to provide Scara Motions is presented. Geometrical conditions that must be followed in order to obtain desired motions are discussed. Kinematics models are derived. The design of the first prototype is described.

On the Design of a Fast Parallel Robot Based on Its Dynamic Model
1 Motivation, Problem Statement, Related Work Most pick-and-place applications involved four-degree-of-freedom robots; indeed, packaging, picking, packing and palletizing tasks required three translations and one rotation around a vertical axis and such motions, named Schoenflies motions [1] or Scara motions, have to be realized in the shortest possible cycle time: the need for 4dof, Scara-like...
متن کاملThe Kinetostatic Design of an Innovative Schönflies Motion Generator
In this paper, a novel parallel robot is introduced. The robot, a Schönflies-Motion Generator (SMG), is capable of a special class of motions, namely, those produced with serial robots termed SCARA, an acronym for Selective-Compliance Assembly Robot Arm. These motions involve three independent translations and one rotation about an axis of fixed direction. Such motions are known to form a subgr...

This paper studies the kinematic geometry of general 3-RPR planar parallel robots with actuated base joints. These robots, while largely overlooked, have simple direct kinematics and large singularity-free workspace. Furthermore, their kinematic geometry is the same as that of a newly developed parallel robot with SCARA-type motions. Starting from the direct and inverse kinematic model, the exp...

This article presents a new planar translational cable-direct-driven robot 1 (CDDR) with actuation redundancy and supported against loading normal to the 2 motion plane with a passive planar two-degree-of-freedom SCARA-type (Selective 3 Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) serial manipulator. This allows the robot to 4 resist cable sag without being supported on the motion plane. The proposed robot 5...

This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the device to obtain ultrasound images. The paper focuses on the robotic mechanism that performs ultrasound imaging. The design of the mechanism is based on two approaches to produce center of motion for an ultrasound probe...
