Abstract: A 3-TPS(RRR) hybrid machine tool that could process vertically as well as horizontally was designed in Northeastern University. A parallel locking mechanism, equipped between the moving platform and the fixed base, is used to constrain partial degrees of freedom (DOF) of the platform. It leads that the platform has three translational DOF and a rotate DOF. The kinematic analysis was discussed in this paper. Several important issues were addressed, namely, position, velocity, acceleration, Jacobian matrix. A simulation was also carried out, which lay the base on structural design and dynamic analysis.

Abstract: Good balancing is very important to improve the moving performance of grinding machine. General balancing technology of grinders was analyzed. The structure features of a new type of hybrid CNC grinding machine were introduced. The necessity of obtaining good balance of the hybrid grinder was demonstrated. Based on simulation and calculation of the distribution law of potential energy over the grinder, a solution for obtaining partial balance of the machine was worked out. An optimal parameter value of the designed balance unit was reached through optimization calculation with optimal balancing effect as target function. The max actuating force of balanced machine accounts for only 13.7% of the force of un-balanced. The balancing unit is of features of simple structure and good balancing effect.
