Abstract

In this paper an inverse concept idea is presented to determine the main configuration dimensional parameters of a novel 5-DOF parallel kinematic machine tool. By the new described orientation workspace, the motion of the passive joints on the moving platform can be expressed in the fixed coordinate analytically. Some relationships between the reachable workspace and the dimensional parameters of the parallel machine tool have been obtained with graphical representation.
