A 3-axis motion platform designed to minimize moving mass and inertia. Prototyped with the CBA at Haystack in July of 2021. Two prismatic actuators form a 3-bar linkage with adjustable side-lengths, which allows for an addressable XY space formed by the intersection of the two arm's revolved maximum length.
