Abstract. The contemporary production using the processing method of removing materials has since recently implied the application of new concepts of machine tools. Among them, the significant place belongs to parallel mechanism-based machine tools. The paper describes the methodology of analysis of parallel mechanisms' workspace aiming at establishing the basis for automated design of parallel mechanism-based machine tools.
Key Words: Parallel Mechanism, Workspace, Analysis, Discretisation.

METODOLOGIJA ANALIZE RADNOG PROSTORA MAŠINA ALATKI NA BAZI PARALELNIH MEHANIZAMA
Savremena proizvodnja primenom metoda obrade skidanjem materijala poslednjih godina podrazumeva primenu novih koncepcija mašina alatki. Među njima značajno mesto pripada mašinama alatkama na bazi paralelnih mehanizama. U radu je opisana metodologija analize radog prostora paralelnih mehanizama u cilju stvaranja podloga za automatizovano projektovanje mašina alatki baziranih na njima.
