Kinematic analysis and the new control structure of a 6degreeof fre edom (DOF) hydraulic vibration table were presented to improve the control preci sion of the system. The vibration table structure was introduced and analyzed. T he forward solution algorithm and the Jacobian matrix were developed to replace the DOF composition and decomposition matrices in conventional control method. T he new control structure of 6 DOF hydraulic vibration table was presented based on kinematic analysis. Sine vibration tests were conducted in one hydraulic vibr ation table. The results show that the control strategy can markedly weaken the convected motion of the table under the condition of low frequency, big displace ment vibrations, raise the degree of acceleration evenness and the transverse co mponent indices, and improve the control precision of the table within the low frequency band.
