This parallel mechanism consists of several kinematical closed chains. The three active elements of the sliding manipulator, acted by some horizontal concurrent forces, which are generated by some hydraulic or pneumatic systems, have three independent translations. Knowing the translation motion of the platform, one initially develops the inverse kinematical problem and determines the positions, velocities and accelerations of the manipulator. Further, the virtual power principle is used in the inverse dynamic problem. Some matrix equations offer iterative expressions and graphs for the actuating forces and powers of the three actuators.

The mechanism of the Minuteman cover drive is a system with four moving links and three gear pairs controlled by one electric motor.

Finally, some simulation graphs for the input and output angles of rotation, the torque and the power of the actuator are obtained.

Controlled by six forces, the manipulator prototype is a spatial six-degrees-of-freedom mechanical system with six parallel legs connecting to the moving platform. Knowing the position and the general motion of the platform, we develop first the inverse kinematics problem and determine the position, velocity and acceleration of each manipulator's link. Further, the inverse dynamics problem is solved using an approach based on the principle of virtual work, but it has been verified the results in the framework of the Lagrange equations with their multipliers. Finally, compact matrix relations and graphs of simulation for the input velocities and accelerations, the input forces and powers are obtained.
