Abstract

Considering the relationship between the changes of the Jacobian matrix and the orientation deviation of the moving platform, the mapping model between the 3RPS PKM end-effector offset and the deformation of the branches was established by using the vector differential method, based on the screw theory. The functional expression of the rigidity of the chain and its components was derived, and then the instant stiffness model of the 3RPS PKM was built up. The influences of the changes of the Jacobian matrix on the stiffness of the PKM were analyzed. The theories that the redundant actuating leg could increase the stiffness of the PKM were discussed, and were also verified by the simulation and the tests.
