Abstract

This paper introduces a new 4 degree-of-freedom parallel robot. It presents its architecture inspired by FlexPicker, an ABB machine based on the Delta architecture, while overcoming its drawbacks. This paper exposes the way to get the geometrical models, and particularly the forward position relationship which can be obtained in a closed form. In a third part, a detailed study of the robot singularities is made by taking into account the not-so-classic internal singularities. Design conditions are obtained for isostatic and over-constrained cases. The robot optimization and its workspace are finally presented.
