Abstract:
PURPOSE: A parallel-type machining tool for machining composite shapes is provided to execute correction work by regulating freely the height of a constrained plane and examining observability of a constrained movement by one or three digital indicators and one constrained surface and to search an optimal correction shape for maximizing independence of a line vector by using QR-decomposition. CONSTITUTION: In a parallel-type machining tool for machining composite shapes, observability is examined according to constrained movement and an optimal correction shape is discovered. A non-observable variable is estimated and the coordinate system is found out. Plane constraining movement uses one or three digital indicators and one constrained plane. The optimal correction shape maximizes independence of a line vector by QR-decomposing an observation matrix. The number of observable variables is provided from a rank of the observation matrix. A value for indicating independence of the line vector is defined and minimized to examine observability according to a constraint variable.

PURPOSE: A parallel manipulator of an intelligence type machine tool is provided to increase the strength of the parallel manipulator while maintaining a large working space by installing six universal joints on ends of six linear actuators at a predetermined angle. CONSTITUTION: A parallel manipulator of an intelligence type machine tool comprises a base(10) on which the workpiece is placed. Six ball socket joints(20) are installed at a bottom of the base(10). Six linear actuators(30) are coupled to lower portions of six ball socket joints(20). Six universal joints(40) are connected to the other ends of six linear actuators(30), respectively, at a predetermined angle. A platform(60) is provided at a lower portion thereof with a tool(50).
