Error Analysis for a Cubic Parallel Device Moving at Uniform Velocity

등속 운동을 하는 육면형 병렬기구의 오차 해석

An error analysis is very important for a precision machine tool to estimate its performance. This study proposes a new parallel device, a cubic parallel manipulator. Errors of the proposed cubic parallel manipulator include universal joint errors, errors occurring due to changes in the fore directions in the links, and actuation errors. An error analysis is performed for the manipulator platform moving at uniform velocity. The analysis shows how the position and orientation of the platform influences the directional link forces that change the errors in the manipulator. The analysis shows that the method can be used in predicting the accuracy of parallel devices.
