Parallel Kinematic Machines

Abstract

The subject of this paper is the machining system with machine tool, designed by the parallel mechanism necessary motors, transmission and corresponding control. Such processing system has got, by the rule, six axes and it is kinematic redundant in relation to most methods of cutting which is carried out by traditional machine tools. Incorporated parallel mechanism has got parallel axes, so these machine tools are said to have virtual axes. This virtuality is the consequence of parallel mechanism working principle. This is the first time it appears on such machine tools. Its characteristic is difference between machine axes and necessary tool movements in relation to workpiece in programming. Until present times the unit mapping from necessary movement coordinates in Decart coordinate system on available machine movements was possible, because in traditional machine tools serial ortogonal mechanisms were incorporated. On the basis of insight into already existing accomplishment in realizing machine tools with parallel kinematics and my own researches this paper plan to carry out real knowledge by the method of unfinished concept, which it is better to make self concepts and develop further this conception instead of buying somebody else's unfinished product. That is why designing of certain manufacturing module with parallel mechanism was planned. The idea is to use available resources of traditional manufacturing equipment in an untraditional an educational system without getting into development and building of typical components for communication, programming motors, and control.
