The Research on the Workspace of the 3-TPT Parallel Machine Tool

Article Preview

Abstract:

The workspace of a machine tool is an important indicator to measure a machine tool performance as well as the important data of mechanical design and motion planning. This article in view of the 3-TPT parallel machine tool. First, according to the positive and inverse solution of Mechanism kinematics, the expression of the range of motion of the moving platform reference point was calculated. Then, by considering the effects of rod length and Hooke joints on the workspace, the workspace could be simulated by using MATLAB software and LabVIEW software.The simulation results show that the parallel machine tool workspace is continuous and no caves.
