Dynamic Modeling and Performance Evaluation of a 5-DOF Hybrid Robot for Composite Material Machining

Dynamic performance is an important performance of robots used for machine processing. This paper studies the dynamic modeling and evaluation method of a 5-DOF (Degree of Freedom) hybrid robot used in aerospace composite material processing. With the consideration of the dynamics of the serial part, the complete dynamic model of the hybrid robot is established based on the virtual work principle. In addition to the widely considered acceleration term, a dynamic performance evaluation index that comprehensively considers the acceleration term, velocity term and gravity term in the dynamic model is proposed. Using the dynamic performance index, the effect of the placement direction of the robot and the arrangement of the double symmetric limbs on robot dynamics are investigated. The results indicate that the vertical placement is beneficial to the dynamics of the hybrid robot, and the arrangement of double symmetric limbs has different effects on different limbs.
