            Abstract : 
There is an urgent demand for nano level tele-operating system to carry out three-dimensional high-speed micro manipulations for medical and biotechnological applications. In this paper, we designed a parallel micromechanism driven by piezo actuators (PZT) as the operating robot with 6 DOF. Also, we presented the simulation for the parallel micro-mechanism. The experimental results indicate that the developed simulating program is useful for the 6-DOF parallel micromechanism.
