2. Description
2.1. First glimpse at the product
The PowerDelta is a miniature robot ideally suited for applications requiring a middle sized
workspace and higher force capabilities. It has a parallel kinematics giving 3 degrees of
freedom in translation. A rotation axis can be mounting on the platform of the robot in order to
change the orientation of the tool about the vertical axis. The controller of the robot is fully
integrated in a control box above the robot’s mechanics. The robot PowerDelta consists in :
(A) Control box
(B) Electrical interfaces
(C) 3 motors
NOTE :
Each motor is equipped with a
parking brake and a high resolution
incremental position sensor. An
additional sensor is used for finding
the zero reference of the robot during
initialization.
(D) Arms
(E) Harmonic drive
(F) Forearms
(G) Platform
Figure 2-1 : PowerDelta Robot overview
NOTE :
The communication with the robot is realized through an Ethernet interface. The robot has
also some 24V input/output available for interfacing with its periphery.

the workspace will be translated
down as much as the length of the
tool (or compliance).

2.3.2. Cycle time
The cycle time is defined as an a/b/c pick and place motion with an elevation of a, an
horizontal motion of b and a down motion on a distance c and then back by the same way as
defined on the figure below :
Figure 2-6 : Trajectory used for the cycle time measurement
NOTE
The cycle time depends not only on the distance travelled by the robot’s platform but also on
the load carried by the robot.

2.3.3. Repeatability
The pose repeatability and the multi-directional pose accuracy variation have been measured
as presented in the International Standard (ISO 9283).
2.3.3.1. Pose repeatability
Pose repeatability expresses the closeness of agreement between the attained poses after n
repeat visits to the same command pose in the same direction.
This pose parameter has been measured on five different points: P1 to P5 :
Data PowerDelta Data PowerDelta
øD 250 mm a 60 mm
h 60 mm b 48 mm
Figure 2-7 : Disposition of the command poses in the robot workspace
PowerDelta robot’s pose repeatability is of + 16 µm at 3σ.
NOTE
The “3σ” mention means that in 99.73% of the cases, the robot repeatability at the point Pi
will be at least equal to the value in the table above.
