travel, where all other axes are at their
zero positions. If the other linear or rota-
tional coordinates are not zero, the avail-
able travel may be less.
**Six-axis move. No moving cables (unlike
serial-kinematic stacked
systems) to introduce bending forces,
torque and friction which degrade posi-
tioning accuracy.
