ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for determining the elastic deformation of components, especially parallel kinematic devices, under a load. Said method is characterised in that the geometry of the articulation points on the fixed platform (9) and the mobile platform (10) is determined; the replacement spring constants of the actuators (K1, K2, K3) and the replacement spring constants of the bearings are determined; the theoretical length of the actuators is determined; the theoretical position of all of the articulation points in the area is determined therefrom; the forces acting on the individual actuators are determined from said geometry and the load (F); and the real geometrical image and thus the real position of the mobile platform are determined from said forces. The real position is compared with the calculated theoretical position and is brought into line by the actuation of corresponding actuators.
