Abstract
This paper presents a new four-degree-of-freedom mechanism, which was developed for cutting convex glass-panels. Proceeding from a concrete industrial task several serial and parallel structures were examined, but none could fulfill the given requirements. Therefore it was necessary to develop a mechanism which had to combine the advantages of both the serial and the parallel principle. With this motivation a parallel mechanism was designed which has two guiding chains between the base and the tool head. On the one hand this mechanism is characterised by compact design and high mobility for the rotational movements and on the other hand it gives the possibility to arrange all drives in the fixed frame, which results in reduced inertia and therefore in very good dynamic features.
