摘要
This paper presents a special robot, able to carry out welding and machining processes from inside the ITER vacuum vessel (W), consisting of a five degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism, mounted on a carriage driven by two electric motors on a rack. The kinematic design of the robot has been optimised for ITER access and a hydraulically actuated pre-prototype built. A hybrid controller is designed for the robot, including position, speed and pressure feedback loops to achieve high accuracy and high dynamic performances. Finally, the experimental tests are given and discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
