In this paper, two types of novel planar Translational Parallel Manipulators (TPMs) by using parallelogram mechanism are conceived. One is made up of two Pa-P (Parallelogram-Prismatic) legs connecting the base to the moving platform. The other consists of two P-Pa legs, which is the kinematic inversion of the former. Since connecting links in a parallelogram mechanism are subject to only tensile/compressive load and all the heavy actuators are mounted at the base, the proposed manipulators can be applied for planar positioning/assembly tasks requiring high stiffness and high speed. The position, velocity, and statics are analyzed, and the design methodology using prescribed workspace and velocity transmission capability is presented. Finally, two types of prototype manipulators have been developed.

본 논문에서는 새로운 형태의 혼합형 5자유도 마이크로 매니퓰레이터를 제안하고 개발하고자 한다. 제안된 기구는 평면형 2자유도 XY-stage와 공간형 3자유도 병렬 기구로 구성된다. 3자유도 병렬기구는 3개의 직렬체인으로 이루어져 있으며, 공간상에서 두 방향의 회전 움직임과 Z축 방향으로의 병진운동을 생성한다. 모의실험을 통하여 개발된 기구의 작업공간과 출력단에서의 정밀도 해석을 수행한다. 개발된 기구는 조작 대상 물체의 미세 위치제어를 필요로 하는 반도체 및 기계, 생물, 의료분야 등에 적용 될 수 있다.

In this paper, mobility performance indices are proposed which may be used to estimate characteristics of output velocity space in six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism. In order for manipulability and condition number to not suffer from lack of the physical meaning due to dimensional inhomogeneity, output space is partitioned into translational velocity space and rotational velocity space, respectively. In each space, mobility ellipsoids corresponding to unit input space are defined and two types of mobility performance in translational velocity spaces indices are derived. Two types of mobility performance in rotational velocity spaces indices are derived.

In this study, a 3-DOF XYZ micro parallel manipulator utilizing compliance mechanism is developed and analyzed. In so doing, a matrix method is used to rapidly solve displacements of the designed kinematic structure, and then kinematic characteristics of the developed manipulator are analyzed. Finally, the design analysis of the kinematic characteristics by changing hinge thickness and structure to improve workspace and translation motion is performed to show that the performance of the developed manipulator is relatively superior to the other similar kind of manipulators.
