Conventional machine tools will have stiff competition at EMO 2001 as several new parallel kinematic machines make their debuts. A new type of tripod PKM, Heckert's SKM 400 has a special couling ...

Reconfigurable parallel mechanisms represent a dynamic frontier in robotic and mechanical design, where modularity, flexibility and precision converge to address complex motion requirements. By ...

A hexapod, also known as a Stewart or Gough-Stewart platform, is a six-legged parallel mechanism. In its most common form, it consists of two platforms — one fixed and the other movable — connected by ...

Hexapod multi-axis motion and positioning platforms have been around for several decades. Initially used for exotic applications, these six-legged parallel-kinematic machines are now becoming popular ...

Parallel manipulators and robots constitute an advanced class of robotic systems where the end-effector is supported by several simultaneous kinematic chains. This architecture affords notable ...
