This paper presents kinematic analysis of a 3-axis parallel manipulator, called P3. The P3 parallel manipulator is developed based on a 3-PRRU parallel mechanism, where P denotes prismatic pair, R revolute pair, and U universal joint. The P3 parallel manipulator can undergo two rotations and one translation without parasitic motion. First, a brief description of the P3 is presented. Then, forward and inverse kinematic solutions of the P3 are derived. Parasitic motion is discussed. The Jacobian matrix is obtained based on the velocity equations. Further, singular configurations of the P3 are identified. A special configuration where the actuation fails is also detected based on screw theory. The workspace of P3 is investigated.
