Abstract In this paper, a geometrical expression to delineate the sum of tensions (i.e. minimum 1-norm tensions) of 2-DoF planar cable-driven parallel manipulators (CDPMs) is proposed and proofed, which can be used to reduce calculation time of workspace determination. Furthermore, this paper also presents a systematic analysis on the relation between cable tension and workspace by means of convex analysis. In order to obtain wrench-feasible workspace, a unified and feasible algorithm is adopted in simulation examples of spatial CDPMs with different configurations, which demonstrate that the proposed method is valid and straightforward to calculate workspace.
