Influence of Link Lengths on the Workspace of a Parallel Topology Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a study on the workspace of the guiding device mechanism of a parallel topology robot. The kinematical scheme and the geometrical model of the guiding device mechanism of the parallel topology robot are presented. The lengths of binary links between the platforms determine the shape and the volume of the parallel robot’s workspace; different boundaries of the workspace are presented. Thus, variation of the workspace in both volume and shape is studied, depending on the binary link lengths, using for modeling and simulation SolidWorks software.
