A new 3-DOF translational parallel manipulator is presented in this paper. This manipulator has decoupled motion in for x, y, and z axes, and employs only revolute joints. The structure and kinematics of the manipulator are studied. The mechanism singularity is examined and the calibration methods are presented.
