In this paper, input-output transmission characteristics of the Eclipse, which is a parallel machine tool capable of 5 face rapid machining, are investigated. By splitting the weighted Jacobian matrix into two parts, the force and moment transmission characteristics together with the velocity and angular velocity transmission characteristics are analyzed. A new manipulability measure, which combines the volume of the manipulability ellipsoid and the condition number of the splitted Jcobian matrix, is proposed. Two link parameters, the ratio of upper and lower platforms' radii and the length of a supporting link of the Eclipse, are designed by applying the new manipulability measure derived. Computer simulations are provided.

Machine tool chatter is the self-excited vibration generated by chip thickness variation and severely degrades the quality of machined surface. The incidence of chatter is greatly affected by the dynamic characteristics of machine tool structure. Therefore, the cutting dynamics in the parallel machine tool is to be carefully studied considering the dynamic characteristics of parallel mechanism. In this paper, the vibration model of parallel machine tool is derived, in which the legs of the parallel mechanism are considered as spring-damper systems. The chatter stability charts for various machining parameters are examined with the example of the cubic parallel mechanism that is specially designed for machine tool use.

This paper presents the development of a Parallel-Typed CNC Machining Tool. It is specially designed to machine a complex shaped workpiece by controlling the orientation of the tool. The inverse/direct kinematics of a parallel mechanism is derived and implemented in a PC based controller. With graphics icons, the GUI (Graphic User Interface) program is developed for the CNC programing. The calibration is accomplished by geometric constraint motion, which is a parallel motion of the platform with respect to a table. The calibration result is introduced and the future study is proposed.

In this paper, we develop a six-axes machining center tool(MCT) and CAD/CAM system. The MCT consists of two mechanical parts, i.e., a X-Y-Z Cartesian coordinate typed MCT and a parallel-typed tilting table. Kinematics and singularity are accomplished to design the parallel-typed tilting table, and CAD/CAM system is developed for the six-axes MCT, which requires the commands of position as well as orientation for machining of complex shape. The CAD/CAM system has a tool path generator, a NC code generator and a graphic simulator. This paper designs the parallel-typed tilting table to meet the desired specification and presents the results of tool path, NC code and graphic simulation.

In machining free-form curves with a machine tool equipped with parallel device, improving contouring accuracy is very important. In this paper, we present contouring control algorithm far parallel machine tool. The relation between the error in Joint space and the error in catesian space is evaluated, and we estimate contouring error vector which efficiently determines the variable gains for the cross coupled control. To show the validity of the algorithm, the contouring control is simulated for free form contour trajectory in cubic parallel machine tool model.

A kinematically-hybrid 5-axis machine tool is analyzed from the perspective of machine tool design. Its kinematic characteristics are pointed out, which should be considered during the conceptual design process. A result of the structural analysis of the machine is presented, which is performed during the detailed design process. It is also presented how we improve the thermal characteristics of the machine tool by changing the installation position of the actuators.

Recently, need of the parallel manipulator requiring superior precision is increasing for medical application and precision manufacturing. In this study, we convert a given complex translation trajectory of the moving platform into a set of segments and hence a complex motion of the moving platform can be tractable and easily controled in a very limited workspace. In addition force exerted. to each link is minimized so that the minimized force can be transmitted to the end effector of the moving platform. An user friendly program is developed to design Gough-type 6DOF parallel manupulator based on the proposed method.
