Cartesian parallel manipulators move a platform using parallel connected kinematic linkages (`limbs') lined up with a Cartesian coordinate system[1]. Multiple limbs connect the moving platform to a base. Each limb is driven by a linear actuator and the linear actuators are mutually perpendicular. The term `parallel' here refers to the way that the kinematic linkages are put together, it does not connote geometric parallelism; i.e., equidistant lines. Manipulators may also be called `robots' or `mechanisms'.

Description

Cartesian parallel manipulators are in the intersection of two broader categories of manipulators: Cartesian and parallel. Cartesian manipulators are driven by mutually perpendicular linear actuators. They generally have a one-to-one correspondence between the linear positions of the actuators and the X, Y, Z position coordinates of the moving platform, making them easy to control. Most commonly, Cartesian manipulators are serial-connected; i.e., they consist of a single kinematic linkage chain. On the other hand, Cartesian parallel manipulators are parallel-connected, providing innate advantages[2] in terms of stiffness[3], precision[4], dynamic performance[5] [6]and in supporting heavy loads[7].

Configurations

Various types of Cartesian parallel manipulators are summarized here. Only fully parallel mechanisms are included; i.e., those having the same number of limbs as degrees of freedom of the moving-platform, with a single actuator per limb.

Multipteron family

Members of the Multipteron [8] family of manipulators have either 3, 4, 5 or 6 degrees of freedom (DoF). The Tripteron 3-DoF member has three translation degrees of freedom 3T DoF, with the subsequent members of the Multipteron family each adding a rotational R degree of freedom. Each member of the family has mutually perpendicular linear actuators connected to a fixed base. The moving platform is typically attached to the linear actuators through three geometrically parallel revolute R joints. See Kinematic pair for a description of shorthand joint notation used to describe manipulator configurations, like revolute R joint for example.

Tripteron

Tripteron

The 3-DoF Tripteron[9] [10] [11] [12] member of the Multipteron family has three parallel-connected kinematic chains consisting of a linear actuator (active prismatic P joint) in series with three revolute R joints 3(PRRR). Similar manipulators, with three parallelogram Pa limbs 3(PRPaR) are the Orthoglide[13] [14] and Parallel cube-manipulator[15]. The Pantepteron[16] is also similar to the Tripteron, with pantograph linkages to speed up the motion of the platform.

Qudrupteron

Quadrupteron

The 4-DoF Qudrupteron[17] has 3T1R DoF with (3PRRU)(PRRR) joint topology.

Pentapteron

The 5-DoF Pentateron[18] has 3T2R DoF with 5(PRRRR) joint topology.

Hexapteron

The 6-DoF Hexapteron[19] has 3T3R DoF with 6(PCRS) joint topology, with cylindrical C and spherical S joints.

Isoglide

The Isoglide family[20] [21][22][23] includes many different Cartesian parallel manipulators from 2-6 DoF.

Xactuator

Xactuator

The 4-DoF or 5-DoF Coupled Cartesian manipulators family[24] are gantry type Cartesian parallel manipulators with 3T1R DoF or 3T2R DoF.
