Abstract
This paper deals with a completely kinematostaticaly decoupled XY compliant parallel manipulator (CPM) composed of exactly-constrained compliant modules. A new 4-PP XY translational parallel mechanism (TPM) with a new topology structure is firstly proposed where each two P (P: prismatic) joints on the base in two non-adjacent legs are rigidly connected. A novel 4-PP XY CPM is then obtained by replacing each traditional P join on the base in the 4-PP XY TPM with a compound basic parallelogram module (CBPM) and replacing each traditional P joint on the motion stage with a basic parallelogram module (BPM). Approximate analytical model is derived with comparison to the FEA (finite element analysis) model and experiment for a case study. The proposed novel XY CPM has a compact configuration with good dynamics, and is able to well constrain the parasitic rotation and the cross-axis coupling of the motion stage. The cross-axis motion of the input stage can be completely eliminated, and the lost motion between the input stage and the motion stage is significantly reduced.
