Abstract
This research paper deals with the new design concept that would incorporate pseudo 6 degrees of freedom movement on a loader gantry crane used in construction sites and on CNC machining bodies used in manufacturing processes.
The research would take into consideration the concept of parallel manipulator described through Stewart platform and cooperative crane manipulator. The scope of this research is not restricted to a parallel manipulator.
The design creation would try to incorporate new techniques in a cooperative crane manipulators.
The research’s objective would be to design a crane or a transporting body that can ease up the job of movement in manufacturing and construction equipment.
The motion of joints and arms consists of three translatorymotion on three axis. Three rotary / circulatory motions in three planes.
The research also considers the various possibilities and techniques that can be combined to produce new level of ease in achieving 6 degree of movement.
The primary focus of research is to de-clutter the joints and distribute the motion on separate joints so that the machinery or the equipment provides 6 degree of freedom movement on complete machinery with ease of working.
