Hello everyone,
I am planning a printer delta, and during research for a bit of inspiration for something new, I found this:
torx robot
The most interesting aspect of this robot is that it does not use the parallelogram system and the effector moves without rotation through the placement of only 3 legs with a pair of universal joints at both ends.
This system greatly simplifies the construction of a printer delta and industrial universal joints, although a bit 'expensive, do not have the limitations of the rod ends in terms of rotation angles, thus allowing to expand the printing surface.
I tried to implement this system in the design of my printer, but I doubt that without parallelogram, a small misalignment can create rotations of the effector.
What do you think about?
