What are the practical application areas of the parallel robots?

A parallel robot can be defined as a closed-loop mechanism in which the moving platform and the fixed platform are connected by at least two independent kinematic chains and the mechanism has two or more degrees of freedom and is driven in parallel.  

The parallel robot has no cumulative error and high precision.  The driving device can be placed on a fixed platform or close to the position of the fixed platform, so that the moving part of light weight, high speed, good dynamic response;  Compact structure, high stiffness, large bearing capacity;  Small working space and other characteristics.  

Based on the above characteristics, parallel robots have been widely applied in fields requiring high stiffness, high precision or large load without large workspace. The practical application fields include:  

1, food, electronics, chemical, packaging and other industries of sorting, handling, packing, etc.  

2, metal cutting.  

3, type milling machine, grinding machine drilling machine or spot welding machine, cutting machine.  

4, measuring machine, used as the error compensator of other institutions.  

5, biomedical engineering in the cell operation robot, can achieve cell injection and segmentation, microsurgical robot, etc.  

6. Parallel robots are also widely used in the military field of submarine and tank driving motion simulator, vector nozzle of the next generation fighter jet, docking device of submarine and space vehicle, attitude controller, etc.  

7. Secondary packing area is a very large area for the parallel robotic system. Can be used for pick and place, select product such as bottles, food, bags, can. 

8. Associated visual system for product selection and eliminating.

Parallel robots have been applied in the 1990s, mainly in medicine, electronics and other light industry as a wide range of applications, parallel robots have a large carrying capacity;  High precision;  Small space occupation;  Speed;  Wear resistance and other characteristics.  This is a good choice for industrial production that requires high precision.
