This paper addresses the balancing of a haptic device by using a set of springs. The proposed haptic device is based on a purely translational parallel manipulator. Given the specific application as haptic device, it is necessary to eliminate or minimize the effect of gravity for achieving a suitable positioning and force feedback. Given the peculiarities of this haptic device, this paper reports the design, construction and preliminary testing of a simple and low-cost balancing solution based on an external set of springs. Simulation results and preliminary tests are reported for showing the engineering feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Abstract

This paper addresses the balancing of a haptic device by using a set of springs. The proposed haptic device is based on a purely translational parallel manipulator. Given the specific application as haptic device, it is necessary to eliminate or minimize the effect of gravity for achieving a suitable positioning and force feedback. Given the peculiarities of this haptic device, this paper reports the design, construction and preliminary testing of a simple and low-cost balancing solution based on an external set of springs. Simulation results and preliminary tests are reported for showing the engineering feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution.
