Kinematics Analysis of a 6-DOF Riveting Manipulator Based on ADAMS

In this paper, a 6-DOF riveting manipulators kinematics model was built by D-H method, and its kinematics problems were discussed. Each of the kinematics parameters was gotten by solving the direct and inverse kinematics functions in Matlab. Then the virtual prototype model of the riveting manipulator was built by ADAMS, and the position, velocity and acceleration in the end center of the riveting manipulator were gotten by the simulation analysis. The reasonability of each linkage design parameters and kinematics model could be verified by simulation results in ADAMS, a foundation could be laid for the further dynamics research.
