Abstract: With the benefits of large workspace, low energy consumption and small inertia, a flexible cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) is suitable for vibration suppression of long-size flexible truss mechanism. A flexible cable-driven parallel mechanism used for vibration attenuation of large-size flexible truss is presented. Kinematics and static model of the CDPR is analyzed by principle of closed loop vector and geometric characteristic of mechanism. The long-size flexible truss is simplified as a beam, and the mode superposition method is used to solve the forced response under external excitation. Vibration suppression of the long-size flexible structure with model uncertainties are considered. A control strategy based on fuzzy and PID control scheme is proposed. The simulation results show that the presented system have great affection on the vibration suppression of the long-size flexible truss, whose amplitude and vibration decay time are significantly reduced. In addition, four cable tension values can be changed within a suitable range.
