Configuring a machine tool based on hybrid O-X glide mechanism

Abstract

The application of computer technologies based on enhanced geometric interpretation of the product in terms of virtual prototype is considered as the basis for product development in the XXI century. This enables integrated development of products that includes the conception, design, optimization, production planning and the manufacture of machine tool as a product of complex mechatronic structure. This paper describes the configuration of the new machine tool with a hybrid kinematic structure based on the original O-X glide mechanism, which includes analyses of kinematics, workspace, virtual prototype simulation and planning of the control system for the management and programming.
