Short summary
The kinematic chain comprised of SLEs (scissor-like elements) has a wide range of motion, which is of benefit for the mechanism design. In this paper, we create a 2-DOF translational parallel mechanism with SLEs. The translational parallel mechanism is composed by several SLE-Pa (SLE-parallel) legs, which consist of two identical SLE limbs. This kind of mechanism is applied to the design of a passive docking device, and the prototype of one SLE-Pa leg is presented.
