Conceptual design and comparative stiffness analysis of an Exechon-like parallel kinematic machine with lockable spherical joints
This article proposes two types of lockable spherical joints which can perform three different motion patters by locking or unlocking corresponding rotational axes. Based on the proposed lockable spherical joints, a general reconfigurable limb structure with two passive joints is designed with which...
