Kinematic and dynamic equations of a planar parallel manipulator

Abstract

This paper presents an inverse dynamic formulation using the Newton-Euler approach for a planar parallel manipulator, which is used in a new five-axis hybrid machine tool. The inverse kinematics of the manipulator is given and the velocity and the acceleration formulae are derived. The driving forces acting on the legs are determined according to the dynamic formulation. The formulation has been implemented in a program and has been used for some typical trajectories planned for a numerical simulation experiment. The simulation results reveal the nature of the variation of the driving forces in the hybrid machine tool and justify the dynamic control model. The dynamic modelling approach presented in this paper can also be applied to other parallel manipulators with less than six degrees of freedom.
