Simulation and Study on 5-DOF Parallel Mechanism

This paper proposes the method of 3D modeling and simulation of five-degree of freedom (5-DOF) parallel mechanism. 3D design by UG and module of mechanism testing platform are presented based on mechanism configuration. The 3D model of 5-DOF branched-chain is established and the parallel mechanism is assembled strictly by UG. Finding all translational parts one by one, the adjacent parts during motion are packaged into a whole transform statement in order to streamline procedures. The mechanism´s translational motion simulation is realized while the corresponding parts make the rotation and translation movements. Result shows that mechanism´s motion simulation under Internet can be observed and the solution validity is verified.
