Simulation and Study on 5-DOF Parallel Mechanism

Abstract

This paper proposes the method of 3D modeling and simulation of five-degree of freedom (5-DOF) parallel mechanism. 3D design by UG and module of mechanism testing platform are presented based on mechanism configuration. The 3D model of 5-DOF branched-chain is established and the parallel mechanism is assembled strictly by UG. Finding all translational parts one by one, the adjacent parts during motion are packaged into a whole transform statement in order to streamline procedures. The mechanism's translational motion simulation is realized while the corresponding parts make the rotation and translation movements. Result shows that mechanism's motion simulation under Internet can be observed and the solution validity is verified.
