Kinematics of a 4-DOF Bipod Parallel Grinder

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel bipod parallel grinder with four controlled degrees of freedom is introduced. The moving platform of this 2-leg parallel grinder can always keep moving in horizontal plane by means of four-parallelogram mechanism (Π joints). The closed-form solutions of forward and inverse kinematics are derived.
