Abstract

The calibration of a 3-UPS/S parallel kinematic mechanism using the laser tracker is presenter. Because the workspace of the joints are small when the mechanism is in its fully assembled state. The coordinates of the base and platform joints are measured in the base and platform assembly module respectively. The measurement is based on sequential determination that takes a fixed-point as the center of a sphere and rotates a target reflector fixed on a strut to envelop a sphere. In addition, to make the moving platform keeping horizontal while the mechanism is in its initial state, a horizontal plane is fitted during calibration.
