The workspace is limited by several conditions. The
prime limitation is the boundary obtained through solving
inverse kinematics. Further, the workspace is limited by the
reachable extent of drives and joints, then by the occurrence
of singularities, and finally by the link and platform
collisions. The parallel robot DELTA linear realizes a wide
workspace, as presented in Fig. 6. Analysis, i.e.
visualization of the workspace is an important aspect of
performance analysis. In order to generate a reachable
workspace of parallel manipulators, a numerical algorithm
was introduced. For the sake of simplicity, other design
specific factors such as the end-effector size, drive volumes
have been ignored. The following figures visualize the 3D
robot workspace (Fig. 5).
