Abstract
In this chapter, the type synthesis of 5-DOF PPPU= PMs (also called 3T2R PMs in the literature) is dealt with using the general approach proposed in Chap. 5. A PPPU= PM is the parallel counterpart of the serial PPPU robot and generates 5-DOF PPPU motion. It covers a wide range of applications including, among others, 5-axis machine tools in which an axis-symmetric tool must be positioned and oriented in order to perform the machining of complex surfaces. The four steps of the type synthesis of PPPU= PMs are presented in detail.
