Abstract
A manipulator having an object holder which can be moved in three directions of translation and three directions of rotation. The object holder is connected by coupling members to driving members secured to a frame. A modular construction is obtained by making the coupling members for the directions of translation and the directions of rotation identical to each other, respectively. The driving members for the directions of translation and the directions of rotation, respectively, are also identical. The modular construction results in a very accurate construction with a minimum number of different components.
