Abstract: Type synthesis of 1T2R 3-DOF UP and UPR-SPR equivalent parallel mechanisms is presented. By using virtual chain approach, the geometric conditions of the joints axes of the 4 and 5-DOF branched chains for these parallel mechanisms are investigated on the base of the wrench system of UP and UPR-SPR virtual chain, leading to a lot of new 3-DOF parallel mechanisms with actuation redundancy and/or over constraint. By linking several revolute joints to a kind of telescopic leg, lots of 4 and 5-DOF reconfigurable branched chains are proposed, which can be used to build various 1T2R 3-DOF parallel mechanisms.

Key words: parallel mechanism, reconfigurable branched chains, type synthesis
