Parallel Robotic Machine Tools

The material covered in this book describes the basic theory, approaches, and algorithms in the field of parallel robot based machine tools. In addition, families of new alternative mechanical architectures are introduced. Case studies are also included.

Research and development of various parallel mechanism applications in engineering are now being performed more and more actively in every industrial field. Parallel robot based machine tools development is considered a key technology of robot applications in manufacturing industries. The material covered here describes the basic theory, approaches, and algorithms in the field of parallel robot based machine tools. In addition families of new alternative mechanical architectures which can be used for machine tools with parallel architecture are introduced. Given equal importance is the design of mechanism systems such as kinematic analysis, stiffness analysis, kinetostatic modeling, and optimization.

Covers the latest material in parallel kinematic machine tools and the junction of parallel robot and machine tools Includes novel conceptions and approaches such as the general kinetostatic model, artificial intelligence based performance optimization, and the global stiffness model Provides large numbers of case study and numerical analysis that will help the reader understand and apply the material presented Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
