A 5-DOF Combined Robot Platform for Automatic 3D Measurement

Abstract:

This paper describes the reconstruction process of a 3P2R type combined robot platform on the basis of a 2-axis linearly moving worktable. An additive 3-DOF manipulator installed above the worktable has one prismatic and two revolute joints by using a novel integrated ball screw and spline axis. The control system of the platform is composed of a 4-axis motion control card and a PLC. Meanwhile, this paper deduces the kinematic equations of this special combined platform for measurement. The 3P2R type platform could be used to measure 3D contour of small work piece automatically.
