Abstract
Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are vulnerable to vibration due to the inevitable flexible properties of the cables. Thus, vibration analysis is critical for CDPR’s operation in which highly accurate motion is required. However, most of the current methods related to vibration analysis of CDPRs rely on simple spring models which have limitations in their performance and complexity that are not general to analyze the vibration of various CDPRs. Hence, accurate, simple and general approaches for vibration analysis in CDPRs are need. To solve this problem, this paper presents the finite element method (FEM) and the modified analytical method to analyze the vibration of CDPRs. To validate these methods, free vibration analysis was conducted using the proposed methods for the planar and spatial cable-driven parallel robots. The natural frequencies of these two CDPRs were computed by the proposed two methods and compared with those of the commercial software, SAP2000. The solutions obtained by the FEM and the modified analytical models turned out to be close to SAP2000’s results, thereby verifying the validity of the proposed methods.
