Sorry for not getting this into the last post...

Some may not know what serial vs. parallel kinematics means. Serial
is what we have in a typical mill. The X sits on the Y, and they both
might sit on the Z (think knee mill, with powered knee)

Parallel means that all the axes happen "at once" (in parallel). The
six struts of a hexapod act in parallel to accomplish movement.
Moving only one will move all six degrees of freedom. To move a
single cartesian axis, ALL six must be moved in parallel.

Hope this helps,

Ballendo

P.S. There's a pic at:
