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 ...

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 ...

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

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 ...
