Abstract:
A novel Exe-variant PKM with a topological arrangement of 2RPU&1RPS was proposed by the authors to achieve a better platform rotational ability over the Exechon parallel kinematic machine (PKM). After introducing the concept design, the mobility analysis and inverse kinematics of the proposed Exe-variant PKM are conducted. With the substructure synthesis techniques, a kinetostatic model that includes joint deflections and limb flexibilites is developed to investigate the kinetostatic characteristics of the Exe-variant PKM. The platform's elastic displacements and joint reaction forces/moments of the Exe-variant PKM at the extreme position are analyzed. Furthermore, their mappings over any work plane are evaluated throughout the entire workspace. The results reveal that the gravity-caused elastic displacements of the platform and joint force/moment reactions are noticeable. The mappings of platform's elastic displacements and joint forces/moments reactions in the entire workspace are position-dependant and demonstrate a symmetry over any given work plane. © 2017, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press.
