Lambda kinematics
Lambda kinematics

The XY plane kinematics are known as a variant of shear kinematics. The struts (lengths l2, l1) that are connected to each other at point D and are also rotatable are located on 2 linear slides XM1 and XM2 at rotary joints C and B.

Strut CA (length I3) is attached to strut CD via the fixed angle ß. The C axis is located at the top of this strut. The actual tool holding strut (length l4) starts at the rotation point of the C axis and ends in the TCP.

Related to the Cartesian axes the C axis is not mechanically guided, i.e. it must be compensated depending on the joint position.
