Excerpt

Parallel mechanisms(PMs) have been used as skeletons or end-effectors in various advanced manufacturing equipment. Compared with their serial counterparts, PMs offer high rigidity, good dynamic response, and large payload capability. Three-degrees-of-freedom(DOFs) parallel mechanisms with two rotational and one translational(2R1T) motion are particularly useful, such as Z3 head [1], A3 head [2], Tricept [3], and Exechon [4]. …
