The paper presents a framework that can be used to design and optimize a balancing mechanism for an industrial robot. The\nframework has the capability to optimize three different concepts: a mechanical, a pneumatic, and a hydropneumatic. Several\ndisciplines are included in the framework, such as dynamic and static analyses of the robot performance.Optimization is performed\nfor each concept and the obtained optimal designs are all better than the reference design. This means that the framework can be\nused as a tool both to optimize the balancing mechanism and also to support concept selection.
