Dynamics simulation analysis on guiding mechanism for cable climbing robot

This paper introduces a method using mechanical dynamic analysis software ADAMS to build a simulation model of guiding mechanism for cable climbing robot. By means of this model and simulation, the influences of many factors, including operation attitude angles, support stiffness, preload, dimension of supporting wheels, to the offset of robot body in working status are obtained. The method presented in this paper can provide a basis for cable climbing robot mechanism optimizing design.
