In this paper, we develop a six-axes machining center tool(MCT) and CAD/CAM system based RAD Tool Program. The MCT consists of two mechanical parts, i.e., a X-Y-Z Cartesian coordinate typed MCT and a parallel-typed tilting table. Kinematics and singularity are accomplished to design the parallel-typed tilting table, and RAD Tool Program Is developed for the six-axes MCT, which requires the commands of position as well as orientation for machining of complex shape. In RAD Tool, the CAD/CAM system has a tool path generator, NC code generator and a graphic simulator. This paper designs the parallel-typed tilting table to meet the desired specification and presents the results of CAD/CAM system based RAD Tool Program.

An error analysis is very important for a precision machine to estimate its performances. This study proposes a new parallel device, cubic parallel manipulator. Errors of the proposed cubic parallel manipulator include upper and down universal joint errors, due to the directional changes in the forces in the links, and actuation errors. An error analysis is presented based on an error model formed through the relation between the universal joint errors of the cubic parallel manipulator and the end effector accuracy. The analysis shows that the method can be used in predicting the accuracy of other cubic parallel devices.

An error analysis is very important for a precision machine tool to estimate its performance. This study proposes a new parallel device, a cubic parallel manipulator. Errors of the proposed cubic parallel manipulator include universal joint errors, errors occurring due to changes in the fore directions in the links, and actuation errors. An error analysis is performed for the manipulator platform moving at uniform velocity. The analysis shows how the position and orientation of the platform influences the directional link forces that change the errors in the manipulator. The analysis shows that the method can be used in predicting the accuracy of parallel devices.

An error analysis is very important for a precision machine to estimate its performances. This study proposes a new parallel device. cubic parallel manipulator. There are so many error sources in this mechanism. Errors of the proposed cubic parallel vary with the stiffness of the manipulator. The stiffness of each leg depends on the direction of the actuation force and its direction. In this paper, the stiffness of the manipulator is calculated and the position errors and the orientation errors are predicted with the platform moving. The analysis shows that the method can be used in predicting the accuracy of other parallel devices and in designing a parallel manipulator.

Singular points are those at which the determinant of a Jacobian matrix is zero. A parallel manipulator gains mostly an extra DOF at the singular points, where it can not be properly controlled. In this study, singular points of a cubic parallel manipulator are illustrated by obtaining the determinant of a Jacobian matrix mathematically, and the singular points of the manipulator are found to be three separate planes in a 3D space. The dependency among links for each singular point is determined by applying linear algebra. Also, the singular points and workspace of the cubic parallel manipulator are plotted to check if the workspace contain singular points.

An error analysis is very important for a precision machine to estimate its performances. This study deals with error of a new parallel device, cubic parallel manipulator. There are so many error sources in this mechanism. Errors of the cubic parallel device vary depending on the stiffness of the manipulator. The stiffness of each link depends on the directions of the link and actuation force. In this paper, the stiffness of the manipulator is calculated by ARAQUS and the position and orlentation errors are predicted within a given workspace. The analysis shows that the method can be used in predicting the accuracy of other parallel devices and in designing parallel devices.

The application area of parallel mechanism is limited in spite of many advantages of that because the workspace of platform is a very small. Thus enlargement of workspace is important issue in design of parallel mechanism. In this paper a parallel mechanism design method is described using commercial simulation program. Firstly strokes of the assembled parallel mechanism's active joints are simulated from kinetic simulation mode to get required workspace, Secondly, dynamic parameters(velocity, acceleration, force, moment) are simulated for the gravity, friction and exit load. Finally, workspace of moving platform is displayed and workspace of area is simulated by motion analysis. The results of this paper will help engineer to design parallel mechanism with optimize workspace.

Typically commercial controllers do not give data of the controller gains. Therefore, it is very hard to determine the optimal controller gain even though the dynamic model is derived. In this case, design of experiment (DOE) methodology can be a powerful tool for gain tuning. In this research, gain tuning process is proposed based on the DOE. Micro parallel mechanism platform with 3 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) is used for the experiments. Controller gains are measured indirectly from the voltages of adjustable resistors. The controller gains of three actuators are optimized by two or three steps, respectively. The correlations of the controller gains are also analyzed. The process and methodology can be adopted in gain tuning of other mechanical systems.

In order to use a parallel device fur machine tool feed mechanism, it is very important to analyze its stiffness over the workspace. Generally, the stiffness of a rod varies with its length. In this paper, the stiffness of the leg is modeled as a linear function. With the linear stiffness model, the methods that can determine stiffness bounds and max/min stiffness directions are presented utilizing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the stiffness matrix. The stiffness variation along a tool-path and stiffness mapping over a workspace are presented with cubic-shaped parallel device which is originally designed for machine tool feed mechanism.
