Abstract
The kinematic redundancy is considered as a way to improve the performance of the parallel mechanism. In this paper, the kinematics performance of a three degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism with kinematic redundancy (3-DOF PM-KR) and the influence of redundant parts on the PM-KR are analyzed. Firstly, the kinematics model of the PM-KR is established. The inverse solutions, the Jacobian matrix, and the workspace of the PM-KR are solved. Secondly, the influence of redundancy on the PM-KR is analyzed. Since there exists kinematic redundancy, the PM-KR possesses fault-tolerant performance. By locking one actuating joint or two actuating joints simultaneously, the fault-tolerant workspace is obtained. When the position of the redundant part is changed, the workspace and singularity will be changed. The results show that kinematic redundancy can be used to avoid singularity. Finally, the simulations are performed to prove the theoretical analysis.
