Abstract

The paper introduces the ways to improve the control accuracy of the parallel kinematic mechanisms of space application. The sources of errors in positioning and orientation of the mechanism developed are given. The ways are suggested for compensating the kinematic and temperature errors of linear drives and mechanism members.
