The present paper addresses the modelling and the experimental identification of the static behaviour of the Tricept robot, a hybrid parallel kinematic machine (HPKM). Mass properties of robot links are initially hypothesized from solid modelling and then incorporated in the identification procedure. Coulomb friction and gravity contributions to motor torques are taken into account: their identification is carried out by means of ordinary least squares algorithms based on motor currents measurements during several slow motion tests. Moreover, the effect of stiction and external forces applied at the end-effector is introduced in the model and analysed by driving the robot end-effector against a calibrated compliant cell. Eventually, the static model is profitably used in an industrial operation of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) to estimate the external forces applied at the tool mechanical interface providing some benefits: a deeper understanding of the technological process parameters and the possibility to realize model-based controls.
