摘要
This paper presents a geometrical method for the workspace analysis of 6-(P) under bar RRS parallel manipulators. A geometric algorithm is described for the computation of the constant-orientation workspace, which was implemented in the CAD/CAM system CATIA. The influence of the different design parameters on the workspace, as well as on other properties of the manipulator, is discussed. In addition, a new representation of the mobile platform orientation is presented for easier interpretation of the orientation. Finally, examples are provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the method. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
