kinematics

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.09 sec.
kinematics: see dynamics dynamics, branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of objects; it may be further divided into kinematics, the study of motion without regard to the forces producing it, and kinetics, the study of the forces that produce or change motion.

kinematics

Branch of physics concerned with the geometrically possible motion of a body or system of bodies, without consideration of the forces involved. It describes the spatial position of bodies or systems, their velocities, and their acceleration. See also dynamics.

It also provides computational software to generate robotics equations for kinematic analysis of robot arms and assist with solving the inverse kinematics of most robot arms.
Because of the complex geometry of the parts, Hussey says that there could have been a problem in machining: "The high speeds"--the Chirons operate at feeds as high as 75 m/min, accelerate at up to 2 g, and operate at a spindle speed of 27,000 rpm--"and five-axis movement can create non-linear machine motion that affects the accuracy of the cutting; the CNC/drive package helps smooth out those kinematics.
