Simulation of kinematic of virtual prototype of a machine tool based on hybrid O-X mechanism

Razvoj i usavršavanje mašina alatki u najvažnije ciljeve ubraja: povećanje fleksibilnosti mašina, brzine obrade i maksimalno iskorišćenje raspoloživog radnog prostora. Usavršavanje mašina alatki baziranih na paralelnoj ili hibridnoj kinematskoj strukturi predstavlja jedan od potencijalno najinteresantnijih pravaca istraživanja koji omogućuju ispunjenje svih pomenutih zahteva. U radu je prezentovan deo istraživanja sprovedenog u cilju utvrđivanja upotrebne vrednosti O-X hibridnog mehanizma u obe konfiguracije radnog prostora koje ovaj mehanizam poseduje. Istraživanja su sprovedena računarskom simulacijom kinematike mašine sa realnim dimenzijama komponenata što predstavlja verifikaciju njenih mogućnosti pre izrade fizičkog prototipa.Development and improvement of machine tools in modern conditions includes: increasing of flexibility, machining speed and better utilization of available workspace. Improvement of a machine tools based on parallel or hybrid kinematics areone of potential most interesting research directions that enable the fulfillment of all above mentioned demands. In this paper is presented part of the research of a usage value of O-X hybrid mechanism in both configurations of a workspace which this mechanism has. The research was conducted by using a computer simulation of the machine kinematics by using real dimensions of components. That makes verification of its possibilities before building of a physical prototype
