The primary calibration research of a measuring limb in 5-UPS/PRPU parallel machine tool

A new type of 5-UPSIPRPU Prirallel Machine Tool is proposed. It has a PRPU measuring limb with excellent kinematic characteristics, which can measinre the pose of the moving platform. It's convenient to calibrate the machine tool and the cost of calibration is decreased greatly. The PRPU limb makes it possible for realizing the closed-loop control at low cost. This paper presents a method, which has been proved by the experiment, of calibrating the PRPU limb.
