“…Firstly, the approach to the type synthesis of multi-mode PMs with lockable joints will be used to the type synthesis of multi-mode PMs with variable kinematic joints [19,21,20], such as variable R joint denoted by R + [21], whose axis of rotation may change. Fig.…”

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c tAvailable online xxxx A 3-DOF (degrees-of-freedom) multi-mode translational/spherical PM (parallel mechanism) with lockable joints is a novel reconfigurable PM. It has both 3-DOF spatial translational operation mode and 3-DOF spherical operation mode. This paper presents an approach to the type synthesis of translational/spherical PMs with lockable joints. Using the proposed approach, several 3-DOF translational/spherical PMs are obtained. It is found that these translational/spherical PMs do not encounter constraint singular configurations and self-motion of sub-chain of a leg during reconfiguration. The approach can also be used for synthesizing other classes of multi-mode PMs with lockable joints, multi-mode PMs with variable kinematic joints, partially decoupled PMs, and reconfigurable PMs with a reconfigurable platform.

Reconfigurable mechanisms provide increased flexibility in machine design and can be used in a variety of applications. Variable joints in reconfigurable mechanisms allow for machine designs that better optimize space and resources. This paper synthesizes the motion profiles of prismatic-prismatic higher variable joints based upon the configuration space approach. Variable joints enable the creation of Type II Mechanisms with Variable Topology, mechanisms whose topology changes due to changes in joint geometry. The goal of this synthesis is to be able to analyze the motion profile, allowing to understand the design constraints of these joints as well as outline the design for the practical implementation of these joints.
