Dynamic Model of a Compliant 3PRS Parallel Mechanism for Micromilling
(Springer, 2016-09-10)
The objective of this work is to develop a manipulator of 5 degrees of freedom for micromilling. It consists of a XY stage under a 3PRS compliant parallel mechanism, obtaining the advantages of the compliant joints as are ...
Mechatronic modeling of a parallel kinematics multi-axial simulation table based on decoupling the actuators and manipulator dynamics
(Elsevier, 2016-11-07)
In this work a mechatronic model was developed for a parallel Multi-Axial Simulation Table (MAST) mechanism. The dynamics of the mechanism was obtained using the principle of energy equivalence and Boltzmann–Hamel equations. ...
Experimental Validation of the Kinematic Design of 3PRS Compliant Parallel Mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
In this paper, a procedure for the kinematic design of a 3-PRS compliant parallel manipulator of 3 degrees of freedom is proposed. First, under the assumption of small displacements, the solid body kinematics of the 3-PRS ...
Control Distribution of Partially Decoupled Multi-level Manipulators with 5 DOFs
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-02-01)
Multi-level manipulators are those mechanisms in which two or more levels,
that de ne the main chain of the manipulator, are joined in parallel to
each other. Besides, each level is linked to the base in parallel by ...
A robot for welding inspection in offshore mooring chains
(Springer, 2018-08-31)
In this paper, the authors present the CIRUS robot. This automatic system uses a combination of pulse-echo and pitch and catch ultrasonic strategies for the inspection of the welded area of mooring chain links in an automatic ...
A robot for non-destructive testing weld inspection of offshore mooring chains
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2018-05-09)
Welding flaw detection is a key step in manufacturing many components. In offshore chains, every link is manufactured from a steel bar that is bent and the ends joined by flash butt welding. Ultrasonic inspection of the ...
Structural Synthesis of 3-DoF Spatial Fully Parallel Manipulators
(Intech Europe, 2014-07-16)
In this paper, the architectures of three degrees of freedom (3-DoF) spatial, fully parallel manipulators (PMs), whose limbs are structurally identical, are obtained systematically. To do this, the methodology followed ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Continuum Parallel Robot
(Springer, 2017)
Continuum Parallel Robots are mechanical devices with closed loops where kinematic pairs have been eliminated and motion is obtained by large deformations of certain elements. Most compliant mechanisms use notches in thick ...
Kinematic Analysis of a Flexible Tensegrity Robot
(Springer, 2017)
In the field of parallel kinematics few designs use highly deformable elements to obtain the end effector movement. Most compliant mechanisms rely on notches or shape changes to simulate a standard kinematic joint. In this ...
