    Abstract

    This article incorporates formulation and application for the varying position of output link of P3R and 4R manipulator configuration and estimation of mechanical error. The behavior of the output link is analyzed for linear and rotary inputs for both the type of configurations. The variation in link tolerance is introduced as input for estimating the mechanical error for P3R and 4R manipulator with the derived formula. Comparison of the errors provides the basis of selecting the best manipulator with the minimum mechanical error. Sample case is illustrated for the identical operational features in these P3R and 4R manipulators and the performance of these manipulators is quantified in this paper. The methodology is successful in considering the effect of source of mechanical errors in general; the proposed methodology is going to be helpful for the analysis of spatial and parallel manipulator.
