Abstract
Conveyors are important equipment in the painting shop. Conveyors with cantilever beams have low load-carrying capacity and can carry small cars. To solve this problem, this paper presents a novel conveyor that uses redundantly actuated parallel manipulators. A method is proposed to obtain the maximum dynamic load-carrying capacity of the conveyor by optimizing the internal forces of the redundantly actuated parallel manipulators. To improve the dynamic load-carrying capacity, approaches using counterweights are utilized and compared. Furthermore, the maximum dynamic load-carrying capacity of the redundant parallel manipulator is compared with that of its nonredundant counterpart.
