This paper presents a new model of parallel manipulator for manufacturing, whose mechanism comes from the general Stewart platform which has the advantages of high rigidity and high load capacity. A scheme of the link mechanism is also proposed to make the link structure very simple. The mechanism parameters are optimized by workspace analysis of the parallel mechanism. With the view of kinematics equivalence between parallel mechanism and serial mechanism, by way of hypothesis serial mechanism and branch hypothesis serial mechanism, an efficient kinematics algorithm has been developed. The problem, derived motion produced by the link structure, has also been solved conveniently.
