Abstract

This paper presents a dimensional finite position synthesis procedure for a 8-bar linkage, that we call the spherically constrained planar 3R chain. The procedure aims at using the welldeveloped constraint-based synthesis equations of spherical RR chains in order to constrain a planar serial 3R guiding chain, synthesized before for a maximum number of three task poses. This maximum number of task positions results from the specific linkage topology, which requires to select specific axes of spherical RR chains. However, three-position synthesis allows it to apply a specific version of the dyad triangle equation of planar RR chains to the problem. A particular assumption forces that this version of the dyad triangle equation becomes nothing but the synthesis equation of a planar 3R chain, which is easily solved for the three prescribed task poses. An example is provided showing a synthesized spherically constrained planar 3R chain reaching three prescribed planar poses.
