Abstract

Working capacity refers to the velocity output and force output of a manipulator. It is usually be represented by output capacity space. In this paper, the method of Linear Programming and a geometric method are proposed to calculate working capacity spaces in different situations. With the consideration of gravity effect of every component, the output force capacity space of heavy duty manipulators is calculated. The results show that the effect of the gravity is a translation of the capacity space. This paper gives a method for the output capacity express especially for heavy duty manipulators. The output capacity space can be helpful to the driving parameters selection. With the consideration of the gravity effect of every component and the friction at the joints, the excavating force capacity space of the heavy-load excavating mechanism is calculated and is represented as a multi-dimensional polytope. The results show that the effect of the gravity and friction is to translational act on the capacity space.
