Abstract
The following paper introduces an approach, which allows the consideration of the kinematic as well as the dynamic properties of parallel kinematic machines. Based on the results of a preceding kinematic optimization, a FEM-model with arbitrary input parameters is designed. The full kinematic functionality of struts and joints used is ensured. By coupling the FEM-model to the GNU Octave numerical program system, a variety of movements including machining forces can be simulated. A Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno optimization algorithm, using GNU Octave, was written and coupled to the FEM-system. Now, this algorithm is able to influence the model's arbitrary input parameters during the optimization process. Thus, the model is optimized automatically for a certain machining process and/or dynamic behavior. This procedure is demonstrated using the example of a delta robot structure originally designed by Raymond Clavel [7].
