Free-leg Hexapod: A novel approach of using parallel kinematic platforms for developing miniature machine tools for special purpose operations

The paper reports on the development, calibration and exploitation of a novel configuration of parallel kinematic platform, Free-leg Hexapod (FreeHex), on which the base (fixed) platform has been removed; thus, each leg can be individually positioned on workpiece surfaces of non-flat geometries.
