Abstract:A three-cable parallel robot was developed for naval missile systems for automatic transfer and loading of the missile with improved loading safety and efficiency. A two-step optimization method was used to completely consider the construction difficulties, weight and cost of the missile loading system with a global search optimization and a local search optimization. The global search considers all the search parameters to determine the tower height as the key design parameter. Then, a cantilever displacement formula is used to relate the cable tower height and diameter with a dimensionless optimization function for the cable force rate of change as a function of the tower height. An optimization function is then used to minimize the maximum cable force. This design optimization method is useful for designing naval automatic projectile loading systems.
