A method of controlling a machine with redundant parallel actuation includes a frame and a mobile element driven by a plurality of mechanical transmissions parallel to one another and each being activated by an actuator (2) including a body fixed to the frame, an actuating member and a position sensor, in which an error signal is produced by comparing the position of each actuator with a setpoint signal, characterized in that the error signals are converted into a mobile element position error signal by applying data representative of the kinematics of the mechanical transmissions, the mobile element error signal is processed by a processing module which produces an effort signal to be applied to the mobile element, the effort signal is converted into signals controlling the actuators by applying data representative of the kinematics of the mechanical transmissions.

A parallel robot comprises a base, three set of arm assemblies disposed on the base at a predetermined spacing, and a bracket member which is supported by the arm assemblies and to which an end effector is attached. Each of the arm assemblies comprises a pair of motors mounted on the base to face each other with a predetermined clearance and a pair of arms which are supported by the motors to be swung, respectively. Each of the arms comprises a first arm portion and a second arm portion. The first arm portion and the second arm portion of each arm are connected with each other through a first joint means, and the second arm portion of each arm is connected with the bracket through a second joint means.

An apparatus and method is provided for identifying beer barrels and the like by means of omnidirectional reading of coded labels affixed to the top end face of each barrel. The apparatus and method provides for machine readability of the coded labels and the subsequent systematic handling of the barrels through the use of a particular code label arrangement using multiple labels and multiple code scanners. In accordance with this method, four labels having identical codes are placed in such an array that pairs of labels are oriented at an angle of about 45.degree. relative to each other. A pair of spaced optical code readers scan the code bearing end faces of the barrels as they are conveyed through an identification region. The scanning beams are spaced by a distance greater than the diameter of the barrels and are arranged to converge at a location remote from the conveyor at an angle of about 45.degree.. This permits both omnidirectional reading and confirmatory secondary reading of the codes to assure error free handling of the individual barrels. The coded labels are of the bar code type and take the form of rectangular self-adhesive polyester supports resistant to conditions encountered in cleaning the barrels.

The invention relates to a high-speed parallel robot with four degrees of freedom comprising four kinematic chains (1) articulated at one of their ends to a mobile platform (4) carrying the tool (5) and at their other end, through a rotational joint (2), to an actuador integral with a base plate (3). The mobile platform (4) is formed by four members (11), (11′), (12), (12′), linked together by means of articulated linkages (13), at least two of the members being parallel to each other, forming an articulated mobile platform with one degree of freedom in the plane of the mobile platform. The actuators are positioned with any orientation in the base plate (2) and preferably at 45°, 135°, 225° and 315°.

A four-degree-of-freedom parallel robot capable of displacing a traveling plate with four degrees of freedom at a high speed and a high acceleration and positioning the traveling plate with high rigidity and high precision. The four-degree-of-freedom parallel robot has four actuators fixed to a base, four parallel linkages each of which is coupled at its upper end to a tip end of an arm of each of the actuators through a kinematic element such as a universal joint, and a traveling plate whose four corners are coupled to lower ends of the parallel linkages through kinematic elements. By controlling the actuators, a main member of the traveling plate is displaced with four degrees of freedom, i.e., translated in all directions and rotated around a predetermined axis. Only axial forces are applied to rods constituting the parallel linkages. Thus, the traveling plate can be positioned at a high speed and with high rigidity as well as high precision.

Carbon oxysulfide is obtained in high yield and with high product selectivity and conversion rates by the sulfurization of methanol in the gas phase at elevated temperatures. The starting methanol utilized in the process may be advantageously supplied from natural gas generated at petroleum production sites.
