Motion simulation of Delta parallel robot based on Solidworks and Simulink

Abstract

In this paper, the kinematics principle of three-degree-of-freedom Delta high-speed parallel manipulator is analyzed. Based on Solidworks and Simulink/Sim Mechanics as simulation development platform, a modeling method of transforming three-dimensional model into SimMechanics model is proposed. SimMechanics model is established and simulated. The results show that this method can visually simulate and analyze the motion of Delta parallel robot, and provide reference for the selection and optimization of parallel robot mechanism and the design of controller.
