Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate the time-varying and coupling dynamic characteristics of a 3-DOF parallel tool head.Design/methodology/approachFrom the view of control, a new dynamic index of a 3-DOF parallel tool head is proposed based on the dynamic model in the joint space. This index can reflect the time-varying and coupling dynamic characteristics which are the main characteristics of the parallel mechanisms, and its distribution in the whole workspace is also given. Through comparison of the dynamic load (driving current) of each driving shaft, a series of experiments is designed and carried out on a prototype to validate the effectiveness of the dynamic analysis. The tracking error of each driving shaft has also been taken into consideration.FindingsThe simulations of the index have the same variation law with the experimental results. The dynamic load of the driving shaft becomes larger with the increase of the dynamic index, and the dynamic performance becomes worse at the same time.Originality/valueThe main dynamic characteristics of the 3-DOF parallel tool head can be described and evaluated through this work.
