Conceptual Design of a 2-Dof Planar High-Speed Industrial Parallel Manipulator
(Springer, 2019) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Özkahya, Merve; Paksoy, Erkan; Taner, Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan
This study focuses on conceptual design alternatives for a planar high-speed/high-precision manipulator in terms of mechanism structure, control strate-gy, and drive system selection. These concepts are investigated specifically for planar 5-bar based parallel linkages. An over-constrained 6-bar linkage with par-allelogram loops and its simply constrained version are selected for detailed de-sign. In addition, a model-based control strategy including a stiffness model is discussed for future studies. Alternative drive systems are evaluated. Finally a prototype is presented.

Image Processing Based Stiffness Mapping of a Haptic Device
(Springer, 2017) Taner, Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
The widely accepted performance criteria of haptic devices, which are transparency and z-width, are affected by the stiffness characteristics of the haptic device’s mechanism. In addition indirect measurement of the handle pose of a haptic device is also affected by the stiffness characteristic. In this study, image processing techniques are used in the experimental setup to develop a stiffness map of a haptic device. The experimentally developed stiffness map is presented and the results are discussed by addressing future works.
