Abstract
Lower-mobility parallel mechanisms (PMs) are suitable for many tasks requiring less than six DOFs. For instance, 6-DOF PMs currently used in machine tools have a superfluous complexity because only five DOFs are necessary for tool control. Obviously, using 5-DOF PMs to perform such tasks can save on cost. In fact, the machine architecture of lower-mobility PMs is simpler. Consequently, the control system and the manufacturing process are reduced.
