Abstract

This work investigates the spatial contour tracking on a new kind of motion platform that is constructed by extending the parallel platform with a proven planar motion table. Multi-axis cross-coupled tracking control schemes were developed on the basis of this hybrid structured Stewart platform, which formed a 5-axis working machine. A framework for the functions of this system was established. Roadmap for further development that leads to a highly versatile and efficient precision motion platform was made.
