and start the calculation from c6=0. The

optimization results in c6=-10mm/s . Consequently, c5=7.5×10mm/s , c4 =-1.425×10mm/s , c3=8.5×10mm/s , c2=c1=c0=0. It can be seen that the optimization calculation brought the design variable c6 to the boundary. If further loosing the limit for c6, the objective will continue reduce in value, but the maximum value of acceleration of the input motion will become too big. The optimal input motions after the optimization are shown in Fig. 9. The corresponding residual vibration of the tool tip is shown in Fig. 10. It is seen from comparing Fig. 8 and Fig. 10 that the amplitude and tool tip residual vibration was reduced by 30 times after optimization. Smaller residual vibration will be very useful for increasing the positioning accuracy. It should be mentioned that only link elasticity is included in above calculation. The residual vibration after optimization will still be very small if the compliance from other sources such as bearings and drive systems caused it 10 times higher than the result shown in Fig. 10.

5. Input power reduction by adding spring elements

Reducing the input power is one of many considerations in machine tool design. For the PKM we studied, two linear motors are the input units which drive the PKM module to perform drilling and positioning operations. One factor to be considered in selecting a linear motor is its maximum required power. The input power of the PKM module is determined by the input forces multiplying the input velocities of the two linear motors. Omitting the friction in the joints, the input forces are determined from

balancing the drilling force and inertia forces of the links and the spindle unit. Adding an energy storage element such as a spring to the PKM may be possible to reduce the input power if the stiffness and the initial (free) length of the spring are selected properly. The reduction of the maximum input power results in smaller linear motors to drive the PKM module. This will in turn reduce the energy consumption and the size of the machine structure. A linear spring can be added in the middle of the two links as shown in Fig. 11(a). Or two torsional springs can be added at points B and C as shown in Fig. 11(b). The synthesis process is the same for the linear or torsional springs. We will take the linear spring as an example to illustrate the design process. The generalized force in Eq. (10) has the form of

where l0 and k are the initial length and the stiffness of the linear spring. The input power of the linear motors is determined by

In order to reduce the input power, we set the optimization objective as follows:

where v is a vector of design variables including the length and the stiffness of the

spring,

. For the PKM module we studied, the

mass properties are listed in Table 1. The initial values of the design variables are set as

. The domains for design variables are

set as [lmin;lmax]=[400, 500 ]mm, [kmin; kmax]=[1,20 ]N/mm. The PKM module is driven by the input motion function described as Eq. (18). Through minimizing objective (24), the optimal spring parameters are obtained as

and k=14.99 N/mm. The input powers of the linear motors with and without the optimized spring are shown in Fig. 12, in which the solid lines represents the input power without spring, the dotted lines represents the input power with the optimal spring. It can be seen from the result that the maximum input power of the right linear motor is reduced from 122.37 to 70.43 W. A 42.45% reduction is achieved. For the left linear motor, the maximum input power is reduced from 114.44 to 62.72 W. A 45.19% reduction is achieved. The effectiveness of the presented method by adding a spring element to reduce the input power of the machine is verified. Torsional springs may be sued to reduce the inertial effect and the size of the spring attachment.
