Researching on th e new equipment used for surface disposal has become the important matter. Grind ing and polishing are a common surface processing method. A new type wire driven parallel robot used for grinding processing is proposed in this paper. Wire driven parallel robot is developed from parallel robot and serial wire driven r obot. Steel wire is used to replace the leg of parallel robot. Compared with par allel robot, this kind of robot has lager workspace, lower weight, higher rigidi ty and higher load/deadweight ratio. And the stiffness of robot is controlled by changing the tension of wire. The robot proposed in this paper has three DOF. T he moving part is driven by four wires, three of them are used to drive and the rest to keep them tension, with a restraining machine. The position sensors are installed in restraining machine. The position of terminating of end-effecter c an be ascertained in the space. The tension sensors are installed in each wire t o form force feedback system. By changing the tension the force on the workpiece can be controlled. Also the stiffness of robot can be adjusted.展开更多
