Ths s largl du to th fact that paralll mchansms possss svral advantags compard to thr sral countrparts, such as a hgh stffnss, hgh prcson, hgh paload capact, good acclraton, tc. Ths attruts all contrut to th structur of paralll mchansms, n whch th movng platform s connctd to th as svral paralll lms. Stffnss or complanc s a vtal factor n valuatng th prformanc of paralll manpulators, snc a hgh stffnss can lad to hgh prcson (Zhang, 9).

KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE PUS-PU MECHANISM Ths nw PUS-PU has thr dgrs of frdom, whch ar a translaton along th Z as and rotatons around th X and Y as. Thr ar thr dntcal actv lgs and on cntral passv lg. Th actv lg conncts th movng platform a sphrcal jont, and th othr nd conncts to th unvrsal jont that s actuatd n th gud-wa. Th gud-was ar paralll to ach othr. Th cntral passv lg s fd on th as, and conssts of a prsmatc jont, anothr movng lnk and a unvrsal jont attachd to th cntr of th movng platform.
