ScaleLinkage

ScaleLinkage[linkage, s]
function scales the linkage kinematic structure and geometry with s scaling factor.
  • Scaling whole linkage is a handy tool if the unit of the distance measure should be changed. If the linkage defined in mm and should be converted to m than linkage should be scaeled with factor 1000.
  • Scaling changes the translational type joint limits.
  • In case of fully parameterized linkage the scaling could be made by changing only the simple parameters.
