Abstract

Taking the 3DOF parallel mechanism within the Tricept robot as an example, this paper presents an analytical approach for the stiffness modeling of parallel kinematic machines having a properly constrained passive limb. The stiffness model is formulated using the 6×6overall Jacobian. It takes particular interest in the precise formulation of the bending stiffness matrix of the properly constrained passive limb by considering the compatibility conditions of the system. Stiffness evaluation of a sample Tricept robot is carried out using two global indices obtained from singular value decomposition of the compliance matrix.
