Analysis of a tilting table with parallel kinematics

Abstract

Examining modern five-axis milling machines, it can be concluded that the structural variants lead to machines with different constructions. The variants are mainly determined by the dimensions of the workpieces that can be manufactured on the machine and the kinematic structure of the machine. Based on the kinematic chain of the machine, a distinction can be made between serial kinematic, parallel kinematic and hybrid kinematic chain variants. On simultaneous five-axis machining, the tool and the workpiece perform linear and orientational movements relative to each other simultaneously. In this paper an analysis of variant of a tilting table with parallel kinematics is presented.
