Abstract:
For high flexibility of assembly works, 6 DOF mechanisms are useful for supporting assembly workers. The 6 DOF mechanism needs to move in sub-mm and sub-degree absolute positioning accuracy over wide working area. For this purpose, we developed a novel 6 DOF parallel mechanism driven by 3 planar motors and a novel calibration method for this mechanism. The calibration experiments using CMM are performed and the results of the calibrations are evaluated.
