This paper proposes an approach for enhancing parallel kinematics machine accuracy by separating actuation and measurement. We describe the interest of the separation actuation and measurement concept and define the sensor redundancy used for designing the measurement device. Then, we present the design of a parallel machine-tool prototype with an independent measuring system, MoM3, as well as the optimization of its measuring system. Lastly, we present the control schemes used on the prototype, and provide experimental results to show the efficiency of separation actuation and measurement applied to a machine-tool.
