abstract

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied wrenches (forces/moments) on the robot. the results show that enlarging the size of fixed platform, increasing vertical payload, reducing applied lateral forces and elimination of applied moments on moving platform, cause expansion of workspaces volumes for the purpose of heavy loads handling.

Modeling and Wrench Feasible Workspace Analysis of a Cable Suspended Robot for Heavy Loads Handling

Cable suspended robots support a moving platform (MP) in space by several spatially arranged cables with computer-controlled winches. The winches are mounted on base platform (BP). Compared to conventional robots, it is possible to control not only the translational motion of the payload but also its orientation in order to perform, for example, loads handling. By this, cable suspended robots c...

Kinematic Modeling and Workspace Analysis of a Spatial Cable Suspended Robot as Incompletely Restrained Positioning Mechanism

This article proposes modeling, simulation and kinematic and workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robot as incompletely Restrained Positioning Mechanism (IRPM). These types of robots have six cables equal to the number of degrees of freedom. After modeling, the kinds of workspace are defined then an statically reachable combined workspace for different geometric structures of fixed a...

Machine Theory Design and workspace analysis of a 6–6 cable-suspended parallel robot

In this paper, we study the design and workspace of a 6–6 cable-suspended parallel robot. The workspace volume is characterized as the set of points where the centroid of the moving platform can reach with tensions in all suspension cables at a constant orientation. This paper attempts to tackle some aspects of optimal design of a 6DOF cable robot by addressing the variations of the workspace v...

Planar Cable-suspended Haptic Interface: Design for Wrench Exertion

Cable-suspended robots and haptics interfaces are appealing because of their structural simplicity, high stiffness, and high exerted wrench-to-weight ratio. A major drawback is that cables cannot push but can only exert tension. Therefore, actuation redundancy is required; even so, certain configurations and wrenches will fail since they would require one or more cables to push. The objective o...
