Abstract

This article describes the design, position kinematics analysis and construction of a translational parallel robot for drilling tasks based on two 5-bar mechanisms. The final design provides a large workspace and a simplified geometrical analysis compared with Delta translational parallel robot. Forward and inverse geometric models are also presented. Deformation analysis using ANSYS was performed to obtain a detailed mechanical design considering forces acting during a classical drilling process. The robot was built and validated for vertical drilling tasks on soft materials.
