This study proposes an error analysis for a cubic parallel device. There are many sources of errors in the device. An error analysis is presented based on an error model formed from the relation between the universal joint error of the cubic parallel manipulator and the end effector accuracy. The analysis shows that the method can be used in evaluating the accuracy of a parallel device.

There are many sources of errors in the parallel device. This study investigates the effect of a clearance error at a U-joint on the position and orientation errors of the platform of a new parallel device, cubic parallel manipulator. In this study, the limits of errors can be estimated for given conditions.

This paper presents kinematic calibration of parallel manipulators with partial pose measurements using a device that measures a rotation of the end-effector along with its position. The device contains an LVDT, a biaxial inclinometer, and a rotary sensor and facilitates automation of the measurement procedure. The device is designed in a modular fashion and links of different lengths can be used. The additional kinematic parameters required for the measurement device are discussed, kinematic relations are derived, and cost function is established to perform calibration with the proposed device. The study is performed for a six degree-of-freedom(DOF) fully parallel HexaSlide Mechanism(HSM). Experimental results show significant improvement in the accuracy of the HSM.

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 to estimate performance of a precision machine. This study proposes an error analysis for a new parallel device, a cubic parallel device. The cubic parallel manipulator has error sources including upper and lower universal joint errors due to the directional changes in the link and actuation errors. The maximum errors of the end effector are affected by the axial direction changes of each links and the clearances of the universal joints when the parallel manipulator is moving along a path. It is found that the changes of errors mostly occur at the positions where the directions of exerting link forces shift. The error analysis is based on an error model formed from the relation between the universal point errors and the end-effector accuracy. The analysis method can be also used in predicting the accuracy of other 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.

본 논문에서는 가상 구멍뚫기 작업의 표현을 위한 햅틱 렌더링 시스템을 제안하였다. 가상 모델을 만들기 위하여 영상 처리기법과 Delaunay 삼각형을 이용하였고, 실시간 어플리케이션에 적용하기 위해 간단하면서도 효율적인 후크의 법칙을 이용하여 힘을 생성하였다. 또한, 직렬형 메커니즘으로 표현하기 어려운 큰 힘을 표현하면서, 병렬형 메커니즘의 특이점 문제를 함께 해결하기 위하여 여유구동 6자유도 병렬형 메커니즘을 햅틱장치로 제안하였고 두 종류의 구멍뚫기 실험을 통하여 큰 힘을 표현할 수 있는 능력을 검증하였다.

In this paper, the kinestatic control algorithm using a six-axis compliant device is presented. Unlike the traditional control methods using a force/torque sensor with very limited compliance, this method employs a compliant device to provide sufficient compliance between an industrial robot and a rigid environment. This kinestatic control method is used to simply control the position of an industrial robot with twists of compensation, which can be decomposed into twists of compliance and twists of freedom. A simple design method of a six-axis parallel-type compliant device with a diagonal stiffness matrix is presented. A compliant device prototype and kinestatic control hardware system and programming were developed. The effectiveness of the kinestatic control algorithm was verified through two kinds of kinestatic control experiments.

The effect of external recycle on the performance of dialysis in countercurrent-flow rectangular membrane modules was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical analysis of mass transfer in parallel-flow device with and without recycle is analogous to heat transfer in parallel-flow heat exchangers. Experiments were carried out with the use of a microporous membrane to dialyze urea aqueous solution by pure water. In contrast to a device with recycle, improvement in mass transfer is achievable if parallel-flow dialysis is operated in a device of same size with recycle which provides the increase of fluid velocity, resulting in reduction of mass-transfer resistance, especially for rather low feed volume rate.

Kinematic calibration is a process whereby the actual values of geometric parameters are estimated so as to minimize the error in absolute positioning. Measuring all components of Cartesian posture, particularly the orientation, can be difficult. With partial pose measurements, all parameters may not be identifiable. This paper proposes a new device that can identify all kinematic parameters with partial pose measurements. Study is performed for a six degree-of-freedom fully parallel Hexa Slide manipulator. The device, however, is general and can be used for other parallel manipulators. The proposed device consists of a link with U joints on both sides and is equipped with a rotary sensor and a biaxial inclinometer. When attached between the base and the mobile platform, the device restricts the end-effector's motion to five degree-of-freedom and can measure position of the end-effector and one of its rotations. Numerical analyses of the identification Jacobian reveal that all parameters are identifiable. Computer simulations show that the identification is robust for the errors in the initial guess and the measurement noise. Intrinsic inaccuracies of the device can significantly deteriorate the calibration results. A measurement procedure is proposed and formulations of cost functions are discussed to prevent propagation of the inaccuracies to the calibration results.
