Tripteron Robot - Simpler Than It Looks?

  • This intriguing mechanism looks complicated but is surprisingly simple. A tripteron is a 3 axis motion system. While rarely used in practice, it has potential applications in 3D printing (similar to a delta robot), photography, and general robotics. This is an experimental design we are calling a "parallel axis tripteron" since all 3 input motions are parallel to each other. This has the advantage of allowing nearly unlimited travel along the parallel axis, since increasing the length of the input rails is relatively cheap and easy. We're using linear stages from our LC40 family to provide the input motion. See www.zaber.com/products/famili... for product details.

      This was created mostly to explore/test the concept without a particular application in mind. In certain applications, this could have advantages over a more traditional 3-axis gantry system capable of accessing the same work envelope. Imagine flipping it over and attaching a gripper to the "head"... something like our chess-playing robot demo ua-cam.com/users/shortsbg5gYlei4Zo. However, the benefits for niche applications may not be enough to justify commercializing it. We currently have no plans to take the design beyond this proof-of-concept.

      well you might actually be on to something. thing is that a singular arm allows the end of the arm to move in a circle when the other end is on a bearing. but if you put another bearing and arm on the end of the first arm, the new end on the second arm has a freedom to go to any point in 2r radius. now imagine this flat circular area of freedom, what do you think would happen if two of these 2d circles intersected in 3d space? you get a line of course. and to "intersect" those two circles you connect the ends of the arms to a single body on bearings, and now this body will move linearly relative to the body the roots of the two arms are in. have two of these systems at an angle and you get tripteron.

    Relatively Space could probably use a robot arm like thing like this on a gantry setup over a rotating welding print table for making their rockets. This part would handle the fine movement of the material depositing/welding head. Like the lense of a CD player to be a steady "hand" for the laser.
    If by using 3 linear rails can allow for pitch and yaw movement as well, that would make this even cooler and more useful. Especially useful for working in a vacuum chamber, or with highly radioactive materials that can quickly degrade motors and electronics in close proximity to a source.
