First, the structure is different
1. Tandem robot: It is connected by a rod with great rigidity through joints, except that the rods at both ends can only be connected with the front or back, and each rod is connected with the front and back rods through joints.
2. Parallel robot: a closed-loop mechanism in which the moving platform and the fixed platform are connected by at least two independent motion chains, and the mechanism has two or more degrees of freedom and is driven in parallel.
Second, the characteristics are different
1. Tandem robot: reducer is required; The driving power is different, and the motor model is different; The motor is located in the motion structure and has a large inertia; The positive solution is simple, and the reverse solution is complex.
2. Parallel robot: no reducer is required, and the cost is relatively low; All drive power is the same and easy to commercialize; The motor is located in the frame and has a small inertia; The inversion solution is simple and easy to control in real time.
Third, the application occasions are different
1. Tandem robots: used in many fields, such as various machine tools, assembly workshops, etc.
2. Parallel robot: mainly used in precision and compact applications, the competition points focus on speed, repeated positioning accuracy and dynamic performance.
