REICHENBACHER PEGASUSPegasus is an entirely new and unique machine concept for wood processing, based on parallel bar kinematics Reichenbacher introduced the first functional machine at the end of 2000. The project has not been further developed to date for a variety of reasons. Origins:The principle of linear bar kinematics has been known for many decades. It is based on the fact that 3 bars, which are connected at one end and suspended with linear mobility at the other end, are able to reach the point of intersection of any arbitrary point within a sphere of movement. Due to the complex calculation of the movement processes and the accordingly extremely high demands on the control, as well as the lack of suitable materials for economical production, no machines or devices existed up to the 1980s, which furthered the research status. The first systems have been in use in high precision work in the aircraft and automotive industry since the 1990s. At the end of the 1990s Reichenbacher gave the first considerations to also using this principle in wood processing. Utilised was parallel bar kinematics, whereby 6 bars were used in place of 3. This not only means that every point within the space is reached, but that the position of the platform mounted on the bars is also defined. Following a comparatively short development phase it was possible to introduce the first functional machine in November 2000. Advantages:
