The systems and methods described herein include hexapod systems, Stewart platform systems and other mechanical movement systems, in which a set of independently moveable trucks support legs that couple to a working surface capable of holding a machine tool or other end-effector, and preferably wherein the trucks travel across a reference surface, such as around the circumference of a circle or along some other pre-defined geometrical pattern or track. For example, as described herein, the systems include Stewart platform machines that have six supportive legs each of which connects to a truck that can travel independently along a track. By coordinating the movement of these six trucks, the working surface can be moved in three- dimensional space and can be oriented about three axes, providing control of roll, pitch and yaw.
La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés comprenant des systèmes hexapodes, des systèmes de plateaux de Stewart et d'autres systèmes de déplacement mécanique, dans lesquels un ensemble de pieds de support de chariots individuellement mobiles s'accouplent à une surface de travail pouvant retenir une machine-outil ou tout autre élément terminal, et dans lesquels les chariots défilent, de préférence, le long d'une surface de référence, par exemple sur le pourtour d'un cercle ou le long d'un rail ou de toute autre forme géométrique prédéfinie. Par exemple, ces systèmes susmentionnés comprennent des machines à plateaux de Stewart comportant six pieds de support reliés chacun à un chariot pouvant défiler de manière indépendante le long d'un rail. En coordonnant les déplacements de ces six chariots, on peut déplacer la surface de travail selon un espace tridimensionnel et l'orienter par rapport à trois axes, ce qui permet de contrôler le roulis, le tangage et le lacet.
