A high accuracy Stewart-lift platform based on a programmable logic controller - theory and practical implementation

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we propose a complex structure of Stewart platform, in 3-RSS configuration, for high precision elevator tasks. After defining the dynamic model based on the Lagrange method, we present the simulation studies concerning the system movement ability. Thereafter, based on the theoretical analysis and considerations, we design and construct a real-life object. The obtained verification tests of the system confirm its applicability in industrial automation and robotics system.
