Delta2_2dof

The "Delta2_2dof" axes group describes a two-dimensional parallel kinematics according to the following representation:

Delta2_2dof axes group: Overview / Mechanical data

Axis legend: x - red y - green z - blue

 

MCS position

  • Origin is in the centre between A1 and A2.
  • A1 and A2 are in the XY plane.
  • Y axis is parallel to the rotary axes of the drives.
  • X axis points towards A1.
  • Z axis points "upwards" away from the end effector.

TCS position

  • Origin is in the centre between the passive joints of the end effector.
  • The passive joints are in the XY plane of the TCS.
  • X TCS and X MCS are parallel.
  • Z TCS is aligned opposite to Z MCS .

Zero position of the drives

  • In the zero setting of the drives, the knee levers are horizontal, i.e. the passive and active joints of the knee levers are aligned.
  • A positive angle means for A1 and A2 an "upwards" movement of the knee levers.
