Virtual Prototyping of Electro-Hydraulic Parallel Manipulator Control Systems

The paper presents the process of virtual prototyping of a parallel manipulator which uses electro-hydraulic servo-mechanisms to drive active elements. A mechatronic solution of tasks of forward and inverse kinematics with the use of a virtual model of the manipulator, as well as a control system for the virtual machine were presented herein. The solution presented in the article makes it possible to study the functions of the control system before its merger with a real manipulator. At the same time, the design process is significantly accelerated.
