Abstract

The paper aims to propose a new parallel mechanism that has high speed and good positioning accuracy. The comparison and the evaluation are made for the conventional Stewart platform type and rotary actuation type parallel manipulators. The proposed mechanism is designed by using each merit to achieve high speed and good accuracy capabilities. The kinematic analysis is made to estimate its work space volume. The design parameter is surveyed and determined by computer simulation. The specification of the prototype manipulator is presented.
