Design and Kinematics Analysis of a New Two DOF Tilter

Abstract

According to the configuration theory of the parallel manipulator with a few degree of freedom (DOF), the paper adopted 2PSU-U mechanism to design a new parallel tilter with 2 DOF, which has such advantages as strong bearing capacity, high precision and kinematic decoupling. It used the coordinate transformation to establish the position and velocity equations of the tilter, and also used the instance to make kinematic simulation, whose result indicated that the roll and pitch angle of the moving platform can vary according to the set motion law by driving two sliders of the main moving branched chains.
