Abstract:

For 3-RRR parallel robot,both geometrical dimensional error and joint clearance of component play arole in positioning accurately and precisely.In this investigation,based on the kinematic error model consideringthe joint clearance,these two error sources are both identifield through kinematic calibration and the influence ofjoint clearance on re-positioning error is analyzed.Then,the dimensional and residual errors are used to make upfor the inverse kinematic model and the desired position command respectively,thus improving positioning accuracy.Finally,based on the clearance error model,the re-positioning precision is improved when the compensation for theinfluence of joint clearance is done.

Key words: 3-RRR parallel robot, kinematic calibration, joint clearance, positioning accuracy
